Question

The PO2 of alveolar air is __________Blank mmHg. The blood entering the pulmonary capillaries has a PO2 of __________Blank mmHg, and the blood leaving the pulmonary capillaries has a PO2 of __________Blank mmHg.Multiple Choice104; 40; 10440; 104; 104104; 104; 40

Solution

The correct answer is 104; 40; 104. This is because the PO2 of alveolar air is approximately 104 mmHg. The blood entering the pulmonary capillaries has a lower PO2 of around 40 mmHg due to the oxygen-poor blood returning from the body. As the blood passes through the pulmonary capillaries, oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood, increasing the blood's PO2 to approximately the same as the alveolar air, 104 mmHg.
