MCQ
Which of the following statements is not true?
  • A
    The partial pressure of oxygen in deoxygenated blood is $40\; mm\; Hg$
  • B
    The partial pressure of oxygen in oxygenated blood is $95\; mm\; Hg$
  • C
    The partial pressure of oxygen in the alveolar air is $104\; mm\; Hg$
  • The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in deoxygenated blood is $95\; mm\; Hg$

Answer

Correct option: D.
The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in deoxygenated blood is $95\; mm\; Hg$
d
Each gas in the mixture exerts a part of the total pressure proportional to its concentration, ie, the partial pressure. This is denoted as $p, e \cdot g \cdot, p_{o_{2}}, p_{C O_{z}}$
