After an inhalation, the partial pressure of O 2 in the alveoli is 104 mmHg and of CO 2 is 40 mmHg. What will be the concentration of these gases dissolved in blood in the capillaries leaving the alveoli? A. O 2 = 40 mm CO 2 = 104 mmHg B. O 2 = 40 mmHg, CO 2 = 46 mmHg C. O 2 = 90 mmHg, CO 2 = 35 mmHg D. O 2 = 100 mmHg, CO 2 = 40 mmHg
Option D. The concentration of these gases dissolved in blood in the capillaries leaving the alveoli is O2=100mmHg , CO2= 40mmHg.
