Question 1

PAO2

Answer 1

Partial pressure of O2 in ALVEOLAR chambers

Question 2

PaO2

Answer 2

Partial pressure of O2 in arterial blood

Question 3

SaO2%

Answer 3

Percent saturation of O2 in ARTERIAL blood with O2

Question 4

PvO2:

Answer 4

Partial reassure of O2 in venous blood

Question 5

PACO2

Answer 5

Partial pressure of CO2 in ALVEOLAR chambers

Question 6

PaCO2

Answer 6

Partial pressure of CO2 in ARTERIAL blood

Question 7

PvCO2:

Answer 7

Partial pressure of CO2 in venous blood

Question 8

Partial Pressures represent:

Answer 8

Average pressure exerted against the alveolar capillary membrane

Question 9

Ambient Air pressure is

Answer 9

760mmHg

Question 10

Patmos=

Answer 10

Partial pressure= %concentration of gas x total pressure
PO2= .2093 x 760mmHg
=159mmHg

Question 11

46mmHg

Question 20

PaO2

Answer 20

98-100mmHg

Question 21

Oxygen Partial Pressure values highest to lowest to know:

Answer 21

PatmosO2: 159mmHg
PAO2: alveolar: 103mmHg
PaO2: arterial: 98%
PO2: mean capillary: 40mmHg
Myoglobin: 2-3

Question 22

Oxyhemoglobin

Answer 22

Binding of O2 to hemoglobin
-hemoglobin contains iron which binds to O2

Question 23

100% saturation is when:

Answer 23

O2 bound to hemoglobin equals the O2 carrying capacity of hemoglobin
Usually never 100%, usually about 97-98%

Question 24

Oxyhemoglobin Curve is:

Answer 24

S-shaped, sigmoidal
-usually near complete saturation of PO2 at 60mmHg and higher

Question 25

Higher partial pressure allows for:

Answer 25

More O2 carrying capacity

Question 26

Arterial blood PAO2 is at

Answer 26

98-100 mmHg -almost complete saturation

Question 27

Capillary- tissue (muscle) PO2 is:

Answer 27

40mmHg -causes dissasociation of O2 from hemoglobin, allowing O2 to be available for muscle

Question 28

Carbon Dioxide Transport in the Blood

Answer 28

Around 5% transported in plasma 60-80% of total CO2 transports in combo with water as bicarbonate -binds with H+ to form carbonic acid which splits into CO2 and H2O in lungs 20% bound with hemoglobin

Question 29

Vi or VE

Answer 29

Minute ventilation -amount of all air breathed in 1 minute (L/min or ml/min) VE= VT (tidal volume) x F (frequency)

Question 30

VA

Answer 30

Alveolar ventilation -amount of air available for gas exchange VA= (VT (tidal) - dead space) x F (frequency)

Question 31

Partial pressure of O2

Answer 31

159mmHg -under conditions of normal atmospheric pressure

Question 32

PAO2

Answer 32

Alveolar partial pressure 103mmHg

Question 33

PaO2

Answer 33

Arterial Partial Pressure 98-100mmHg

Question 34

PO2

Answer 34

Muscle partial pressure 40mmHg

Question 35

PO2

Answer 35

Muscle partial pressure 40mmHg

Question 36

Oxyhemoglobin disassociation curve

Answer 36

97-98% saturated at most >60mmHg = almost complete saturation <60mmHg= increased disassociation =release of O2
