The calculated oxygen concentration in the blood is 0.0025 ml/ml of blood. Considering an atmospheric pressure as 760mmHg, how much would be the approximate oxygen tension in the blood?
Oxygen tension in the blood (PO2) can be detected using Henry's law. According to Henry's law oxygen dissolved in the blood is propoional to PaO2. Ref: Quantitative Human Physiology: An Introduction, By Joseph Feher, Page 582 ; Review of Medical Physiology, Ganong 21st Edition, Page 670.
