Q

What gases makes up normal ambient air?

A

Nitrogen
Oxygen 20.93%
Carbon Dioxide

17
Q

What is the total pressure of ambient air on a normal day at sea level?

18
Q

What are partial pressures?

A

= % Concentration x Barometric pressure

19
Q

What happens to the partial pressure of oxygen PO2 as it moves from ambient air through the trachea and into the alveoli?

A

The air pressure in the trachea decreases, making it 713 mmHg and it is humidified/warmed, as it leaves into the alveoli the pressure is the same (713mmHg) but the gas concentrations change

20
Q

What are the 4 main things that affect the Bohr Effect?

A

Decreased PO2
Increased Temperature
Increased PCO2
Decreased pH

21
Q

What are two ways that Oxygen (O2) is transported in the blood?f

A

Physical solution

Combined with hemoglobin

22
Q

What are three ways in which carbon dioxide (CO2) is transported in the blood?

A

Physical solution
As carbamino compounds
As bicarbonate
