Question

The concentration of oxygen dissolved in both arterial and venous blood can be determined using henry law, Pi=HiCi. Where Pi is the partial pressure of constituent I, Hi is the Henrys law constant for constituent I, and Ci is the dissolved concentration of constituent i. The partial pressure of oxygen is 95 mmHg in the artery and 40 mmHg in the vein. The henrys law constant of oxygen is 0.74mmHg/

The concentration of oxygen dissolved in both arterial and venous blood can be determined using henry law, Pi=HiCi. Where Pi is the partial pressure of constituent I, Hi is the Henrys law constant for constituent I, and Ci is the dissolved concentration of constituent i. The partial pressure of oxygen is 95 mmHg in the artery and 40 mmHg in the vein. The henrys law constant of oxygen is 0.74mmHg/ mu M, Determine the concentration at arterial and venous condition

Explanation / Answer

In artery

C= P/H = 95/0.74 = 128.37 micro M

In vein

C = P/H = 40/0.74 = 54.05 micro M
