Best Answer

The partial pressure of carbon dioxide increases as a function of time, depending on how long you hold your breathe. Initially, this will cause some discomfort and lead to a mild headache or muscle fatigue if you are not breathing properly during strenuous exercise. However, with proper training (like that undertaken by swimmers), you can hold your breath longer while pushing your body to perform optimally.

What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the pulmonary arteries?

The partial pressure of oxygen in expired air is 109 mmHg. Partial pressure is calculated at the proportion of oxygen in the air, so at 1 atmosphere for dry air pressure is 713 mmHg (which is 760 total pressure - 47 mmHg water vapor) and oxygen is 21% of the dry gas concentration so inspired pO2 is 150 mmHg.
