Arterial saturation (SaO2) is... the percentage of arterial hemoglobin that is saturated with (carrying) oxygen. a physiological measure of hypoxic stress. close to 100% in a healthy person. measured using a pulse oximeter. all of the above.

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 oxygen supply, $S$, in the blood depends on the hematocrit, $H,$ the percentage of red blood cells in the blood: $S=a H e^{-b H} \quad$ for positive constants $a, b$ (a) What value of $H$ maximizes the oxygen supply? What is the maximum oxygen supply? (b) How does increasing the value of the constants $a$ and $b$ change the maximum value of $S ?$
