Question

Question 7 1 pts Compared with oxygen, at what rate does CO2 diffuse across the alveolar-capillary membrane? O CO2 diffuses 20 times faster than O2 O CO2 diffuses 44 times slower than 02 O CO2 diffuses 20 times slower than 02 O CO2 diffuses 44 times faster than 02

Answer 1

7. Co2 diffuses 20 times faster than o2

Because Hemoglobin has higher affinity towards co2

8.the situation is called perfusion limited

9.20 times greater for carbon monoxide than oxygen because of higher affinity

10.PaO2 = (((Patm * 101.3) - 6.3) * FIO2) - (PaCO2/RQ)

2200mmhg

100 mmhg the partial pressure reduces to 100 mmhg at higher altitudes
