The atmosphere has a PO2 of [ Select ] and a PCO2 of [ Select ] which reaches of PO2 of [ Select ] and a PCO2 of [ Select ] in the alveoli. The oxygen moves into the arterial blood, reaching a PO2 of [ Select ] while PCO2 is [ Select ] . Upon reaching the cells, oxygen moves [ Select ] its concentration gradient [ Select ] the cell while carbon dioxide moves [ Select ] its concentration gradient [ Select ] the cell. This leaves the venous blood at a PO2 of [ Select ] and a PCO2 of [ Select ] .

As altitude increases the total atmospheric pressure Choose but the percentage of oxygen in the atmosphere Choose . That means the Choose of oxygen will decrease as altitude increases. At a high enough altitude the partial pressure of oxygen inhaled will be lower than the partial pressure in Choose blood entering the lungs. increases stays the same partial pressure arterial decreases venous atmospheric pressure

Gas Transport And Exchange in Systemic Vs Pulmonary Capillaries Identify the set of capillaries in which each of the following processes would occur: Carbonic anhydrase is increasing the amount of carbonic acid Carbon dioxide is diffusing into the blood Carbon dioxide binds to hemoglobin Carbonic acid in RBCs converts to carbon dioxide and water Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood Chloride ion shifts into the RBC Decreasing carbon dioxide levels decrease the levels of H+ bound to hemoglobin Oxygen is diffusing into the blood
