Q.

The partial pressures (in mm Hg) of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) at alveoli (the site of diffusion) are              [2021]

1 pO2 = 159 and pCO2 = 0.3  
2 pO2 = 104 and pCO2 = 40  
3 pO2 = 40 and pCO2 = 45  
4 pO2 = 95 and pCO2 = 40  

Ans.

(2)

The partial pressure (in mm Hg) of oxygen and carbon dioxide at alveoli are 104 and 40 respectively.
