The partial pressure of oxygen is the pressure exerted by gaseous oxygen in the blood and is measured either in kilopascals (kPa) or millimeters of mercury (mmHg). The higher the partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in the blood, the higher the oxygen saturation. This relationship is not linear...
What is the after effect of hyperventilation in breathing frequency and tidal volume? And also explain what happens when both decreased. How does a decrease in the partial pressure of CO_2 in the lungs from 6 kPa (holding one's breath) to 2 kPa (normal) effect t...
How does a decrease in the partial pressure of CO_2 in the lungs from 6 kPa (holding one's breath) to 2 kPa (normal) effect the following changes on the O_2 affinity of hemoglobin? What is the normal range of breaths per minute f...
