MCQ
Partial pressure of $O _{2}$ and $CO _{2}$ in atmospheric air as compared to those in alveolar air is
  Alveolar Air Atmospheric Air
$p O _{2}$ $ X$ $ Y$
$pCO _{2}$ $A$ $B$
  • A
    $X>Y \& A>B$
  • B
    $X < Y \& A < B$
  • C
    $X > Y \& A < B$
  • $X < Y \& A > B$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$X < Y \& A > B$
d
Partial pressure of $O_{2}$ is higher in atmosphere as compared to the alveolar air. Due to this pressure gradient, $O_{2}$ goes inside the body and same phenomena happens in case of $C O_{2}$ but in opposite direction
