Sample questions

Question 1
The partial pressure of oxygen (pO2) in the alveolar air is approximately 104 \text{ mmHg}. What is its approximate value in the deoxygenated blood entering the pulmonary capillaries?
Question 2
If the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) in the atmospheric air is 159 mmHg, and the total atmospheric pressure is 760 mmHg, what is the approximate percentage of oxygen in the air?
Question 3
In the oxygen dissociation curve, a shift to the right indicates which of the following conditions in the tissues? (Imagine a standard oxyhaemoglobin dissociation curve. A shift to the right means a lower affinity of haemoglobin for oxygen).
