The pCO2 is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in blood moving through the arteries of the human body. While it can be impacted by a high carbon dioxide concentration in the air being breathered, it is not a thing that is measured in connection with the atmosphere.Normal values o pCO2 in arterial blood are considered to be 35 - 45 mmHg.

Is Alveolar PCO2 identical to atmospheric PCO2?
No, it is higher or the CO2 would not move out of the lungs.
What regulates activities?
pco2
The relative PO2 and PCO2 in pulmonary arteries and veins and systemic arteries and veins?
Pulmonary artery/Systemic veins PCO2 = 45 PO2 = 40 Pulmonary vein/Systemic arteries PCO2 = 40 PO2 = 100
When PCO2 declines bronchioles?
constrict
What type of membrane used in po2 and pco2 electrode?
Teflon is used for the membrane of pco2 electrodes as it allows for the diffusion of co2 but not ions.
What are the units for pCO2?
mm Hg (mercury)
What gas is the major regulator of respiration?
PCO2
What is the normal range of PCO2 in kPa?
5.3
What is the effects of an increase in PCO2?
Plasma pH will Decrease
What is the PCO2 of venous blood?
41-51 mmhg
What is normal arterial pCO2 in kPa?
5.3 kPa
What is the difference between pco2 and paco2?
pco2 is partial pressure of o2 in the capillary and paco2 is partial pressure of co2 in the arteries. So, one is a measurement of O2 and the other is CO2
