Question

partial pressure of oxygen in human lungs in torr is 161,116,760 or 159
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Oxygenation of tissues is one of the most important processes that occur within the human body. Without proper oxygenation of tissues, metabolic processes cannot function efficiently, and cellular functions will falter. With such importance for the survival of an organism, it is understandable that the process of extracting oxygen from environmental air is tightly regulated physiologically. All gases follow chemical laws that when mixed, will each have a partial pressure equal to the hypothetical pressure when the same gas homogeneously occupies the same volume at the same temperature as the original mixture

Answer 2

Answer:

rTherefore, the partial pressure of oxygen in inspired air is (760 − 47) × 0.21, or 150 torr.
