The partial pressure of oxygen. Alternatively, you can think of it as the concentration of oxygen at a specific pressure.

Why alveolar oxygen tension is more than arterial oxygen tension?

The alveoli are the site of gas exchange in the lungs, where oxygen is taken up by the blood. The alveolar oxygen tension is higher than arterial oxygen tension because there is a gradient that drives oxygen diffusion from the alveoli into the blood. This difference is necessary to ensure efficient oxygen uptake by the blood in the lungs.

What is S1O2?

S1O2 typically refers to the partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2) in arterial blood. It is a measure of the oxygen content in the blood and is an important parameter in assessing respiratory and circulatory function. A normal range for arterial oxygen tension (PaO2) is typically between 75-100 mmHg.


What property is responsible for the beading up of water?

Surface tension, resulting from the polar nature of water molecules. In a molecule of H2O, two Hydrogen atoms are bonded to one Oxygen atom. The hydrogen atoms still carry a minor positive charge and the Oxygen a negative one. This causes the Hydrogen atoms on one molecule to be attracted to the Oxygen on another. The molecules tend to align themselves in a tetrahedral structure. Surface tension is the same phenomenon that allows certain insects (water striders) to walk around on the surface. Surfactants are substances that break up the suface tension. Dish soap is the most commonly known. Technically, any dissolved substance may affect the strength of surface tension by interfering with the polar attraction.
