Vedclass · Answer

(C) The partial pressure of oxygen $(pO_2)$ varies in different parts of the respiratory system to facilitate gas exchange through diffusion.$1$. In the alveoli,the $pO_2$ is approximately $104 \; mm \; Hg$,which is higher than the $pO_2$ in the deoxygenated blood arriving at the lungs $(40 \; mm \; Hg)$,allowing oxygen to diffuse into the blood.$2$. In the systemic tissues,the $pO_2$ is approximately $40 \; mm \; Hg$,which is lower than the $pO_2$ in the oxygenated blood arriving from the lungs $(95 \; mm \; Hg)$,allowing oxygen to diffuse from the blood into the tissues.Therefore,the values are $104 \; mm \; Hg$ in the alveoli and $40 \; mm \; Hg$ in the tissues.

Column-$I$	Column-$II$
$A$. Alveoli	$i$. $0.3 \ mmHg \ PCO_2$
$B$. Deoxygenated blood	$ii$. $45 \ mmHg \ PCO_2$
$C$. Atmospheric air	$iii$. $104 \ mmHg \ PO_2$
$D$. Tissue	$iv$. $40 \ mmHg \ PO_2$

What is the value of $pO_2$ in alveoli and tissues respectively?
