Explain how the arterial P02 and the oxygen content of whole blood are affected by (a) hyperventilation, (b) breathing from a tank containing 100% oxygen, (c) anemia (low red blood cell count and hemoglobin concentration), and (d) altitude.

If the partial pressure of O 2 in mixed venous blood is 40% of that present in the arterial blood then the hemoglobin saturation is: a. 73% b. 74% c. 75% d. 76% e. 77%
The hypoxic ventilatory response occurs when low arterial PO2 stimulates the aortic bodies, carotid bodies, and central chemoreceptors.
