Question

What is Dalton's law in anatomy?

Answer 1

Answer:

Dalton's law, the statement that the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual component gases. The partial pressure is the pressure that each gas would exert if it alone occupied the volume of the mixture at the same temperature.

• Dalton’s law states that the partial pressure of a gas in a mixture is the pressure that gas would exert if it occupied the total volume of the mixture. This law explains that the sum of all partial pressures of gas in a mixture should equal the barometric pressure. It is an especially important calculation for oxygen to determine the pressure of gas pushing into the alveoli and thus into the circulating blood.
