No, it is higher or the CO2 would not move out of the lungs.

Exchange of gases in the lungs?

blood entering the lungs has a partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) of 40 mmHg and a partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) of 46 mmHg; alveoli, on the other hand, have a PO2 of 105 mmHg and a PCO2 of 40 mmHg. As the blood moves past the alveoli, oxygen and carbon dioxide will diffuse down their respective partial pressure gradients. Oxygen will move from the alveolar space (PO2 of 105 mmHg) to the blood stream (PO2 of 40 mmHg). Carbon dioxide will move from the blood (PCO2 of 46 mmHg) to the alveolar space (PCO2 of 40 mmHg). As the blood leaves the alveolus, the PO2 and PCO2 will have essentially equilibrated with the alveolar air.


What regulates activities?

pco2


The relative PO2 and PCO2 in pulmonary arteries and veins and systemic arteries and veins?

In pulmonary arteries, PO2 is around 40 mmHg and PCO2 is around 46 mmHg. In pulmonary veins, PO2 is around 100 mmHg and PCO2 is around 40 mmHg. In systemic arteries, PO2 is around 100 mmHg and PCO2 is around 40 mmHg. In systemic veins, PO2 is around 40 mmHg and PCO2 is around 46 mmHg.


What are the units for pCO2?

The units for pCO2 are typically expressed in millimeters of mercury (mmHg) or in kilopascals (kPa).


When PCO2 declines bronchioles?

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.
