Transport Of O2 and CO2 In The Blood And Tissues Flashcards
Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide by blood depends on ?
Diffusion and blood flow
The alveoli PO2 is about?
104 mmHg
Pulmonary capillary PO2 is about?
40 mm Hg
Initial P difference causing O2 diffusion 104-40 mmHg or 60 mmHg. True or False
True
98% blood entering left atrium is?
Oxygenated
The PO2 in left atrium is about?
104 mmHg
What is the shunt flow?
2% blood (shunt blood) returning to left atrium is deoxygenated
Shunt blood combines with oxygenated blood from pulmonary veins to form?
Venous admixture of blood
PO2 shunt blood is almost equal to?
Normal systemic venous blood 40 mm Hg
Reduced PO2 from about ______ to about ____ mmHg
104 mm Hg
95 mm Hg
PO2 in the capillaries is ?
95 mm Hg
PO2 in the interstitial fluid is ?
40 mm Hg
Intracellular PO2 is?
23 mm Hg
Difference in PO2 causes?
02 to diffuse rapidly from the capillary blood into tissues
PO2 in capillary blood lowers to 80 mm Hg
True or false
False, to 40 mm Hg
Name two ways in which oxygen is carried in blood
Dissolves 02= 3%
O2 bound to hemoglobin = 97%
Binding of oxygen to hemoglobin form?
Oxyhemoglobin
The primary transport mechanism of 02 is?
The binding if 02 to hgb to form oxyhemoglobin
Explain the O2 binding to hemoglobin
O2 molecules bind loosely and reversible with the heme portion of hemoglobin
O2 binds with hemoglobin when PO2 is high in the pulmonary capillaries
O2 is released from hemoglobin into tissue as the PO2 is low in the tissue capillaries
When O2 is used up by cell. What is formed
CO2
When CO2 is formed, intracellular PC02 increases to?
46 mm Hg
Interstitial fluid PC02 is?
45 mm Hg
PCO2 arterial blood entering tissue?
40 mm Hg
CO2 diffuses from where to where?
Carried by blood to?
Cells to capillaries
Heart and then lungs
