If an oxygen sensor is used to measure O2 dissolved in blood, explain why such measurement is inadequate in reporting blood oxygenation.

During the VO2 max test (performed in a lab on a treadmill) both John and Jeff had a pulse oximeter placed on their finger. Describe what the pulse oximeter is measuring, and speculate as to what you may expect to see with this measurement towards the end of the test in these two individuals. What is this phenomenon called?
Analyze the graphs, which demonstrate the effects of acute exercise on arterial blood gases and pH. Then determine whether the statements are true or false. 1. The graph demonstrates that oxygen extraction by tissues does not change during exercise, whether moderate or heavy. 2. Hyperventilation may explain the decrease in arterial PCO2 with prolonged and heavy exercise. 3. With regular endurance training, arterial PO2 levels on the graph would be higher than shown. 4. Blood pH levels stay relatively stable during moderate and heavy exercise due to respiratory compensation for increased metabolism.
