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)
Does oxygen and other gases enters the nose and travel down to the windpipe but only the oxygen enters the lungs?
They all enter the lung ... but the only one that quickly enters the blood is oxygen. Because oxygen is the one gas that has a higher partial pressure in "lung air" than its partial pressure in the "lung blood". Note that the blood's CO2 pressure is higher than the air in the lungs, so CO2 comes out of the blood into the lung's air.
What is Po2 gas?
PO2 IS THE OYGEN BLOOD LEVEL IN YOUR BODY (More specifically, pO2 is the partial pressure of oxygen in different parts of your body. For example, the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) is higher in your lungs than it is in various tissues like muscles. Therefore, oxygen is absorbed in the lungs and dispersed through your muscles.)
What is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the blood returning to the lungs from the body?
46 mm Hg
How will the lungs compensate for an acute rise in the partial pressure of carbon dioxide in arterial blood?
respiratory rate will increase
What is the partial pressure of CO2 in the arterial and venous blood?
The normal partial pressure of oxygen in arterial blood is 75-100 millimeters of mercury. In comparison the partial pressure of oxygen at sea level is 750 millimeters of mercury.
In deoxygenated blood is the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is greater than the partial pressure of oxygen left?
save
How does partial pressure affect the movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood?
Partial pressure affects the movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood because it is the main driving force for oxygen movement in the lungs.Oxygen passes from the air to the fluid within the alveoli, into the cell of the alveoli.
Why does oxygen move from the aveloi into the pulmonary capillary blood?
Because of difference in partial pressure
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)
What blood gas is value with a pH of 7.34 a partial pressure of oxygen of 80mmHg partial pressure of carbon dioxide of 49mmHg and HCO3 of 24mmHg?
metabolic acidosis
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.
What transfers oxygen to the blood stream?
Diffusion only. The partial pressure of O2 is the sole driver.

Note that the blood's CO2 pressure is higher than the air in the lungs, so CO2 comes out of the blood into the lung's air.
What is p02?
P02 is the partial pressure that oxygen exerts on a vein, artery or any other blood vessel.
How oxygen enters a red blood cell from alveoli in the lungs?
Diffusion along the (partial) pressure gradient.
Allincrease the partial pressure of oxygen in pulmonary capillaries except increase A.partial pressure of oxygen in alveoliB.pulmonary capillary blood flowC.respiratory membrane surface areaD.altitude?
altitude
