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

∙ 11y ago
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.

What is the partial pressure of oxygen in Denver?
The Partial Pressure of Oxygen in ambient air in Denver (610mmHg) is 128.1mmHg.
What partial pressure of oxygen is a scuba diver breathing if the total pressure is 6.3 ATM and 20 percent of the air is oxygen?
The answer to the question what partial pressure of oxygen is a scuba diver breathing if the total pressure is 6.3 atm and 20 % of the air is oxygen is 1.26 atm (atmospheres).
In a 2 liter container what is the partial pressure of oxygen?
0.5atm
What is the partial pressure of oxygen in blood gas a mixture of N2 O2 and CO2 if the partial pr. of Nitrogen 630 mm of Hg and partial pressure of CO2 is 39 mm of Hg?
If the total (=atmospheric) gas pressure is 760 mm Hg, then the remaining partial pressure of 760 - (630 + 39) = 91 mm of Hg is for the 3rd gas in blood: Oxygen (O2)
. A mixture of oxygen hydrogen and nitrogen gases exerts a total pressure of 282 kPa. If the partial pressures of oxygen and hydrogen are 110 kPa and 106 kPa respectively what is the partial pressure?
Total pressure = ppO2 + ppH2 + ppN2ppN2 = Total pressure - (ppO2 + ppH2)ppN2 = 282 kPa - (110+106 kPa) = 282kPa - 216kPappN2 = 66 kPa = partial pressure of nitrogen
Why does oxygen move from the aveloi into the pulmonary capillary blood?
Because of difference in partial pressure
Blood vessel carrying oxygen rich blood?
Arteries (except the pulmonary artery) and one vein the pulmonary vein.
In PA02 Does the P stand for Pulmonary what is the A I know O2 stand for oxygen please help.?
PaO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood. Pa is the abbreviation of partial.

altitude
What is distinct about the pulmonary arteries?
They are low in oxygen which is not usually found in arteries.
Within the pulmonary circulation the?
pulmonary arteries carry oxygen-poor blood
Highest oxygen concentration is found in the blood of the?
pulmonary arteries
What type of blood is in the pulmonary arteries?
Deoxygenated. The blood is carried by the pulmonary arteries from the heart to the lungs to replenish the oxygen.
Do arteries carry oxygen-rich blood to capillaries?
Systemic Arteries carry oxygen rich blood (also called oxygenated blood). Pulmonary Arteries carry oxygen poor (deoxygenated) blood
Where does an artery carry oxygen poor blood?
The pulmonary artery carries oxygen poor blood and the pulmonary vein carries oxygen rich blood.
Which structure(s) carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart?
The right ventricle pumps O2 poor blood into the lungs. The ventricular pressure has to be greater than that of the pulmonary artery to open the pulmonary valve and push the blood to the lungs.
Do arteries carry oxygenated blood to the heart?
Oxygen All arteries, except the pulmonary and umbilical arteries, carry oxygen. None of them carry carbon dioxide.
