Q). The presence of hemoglobin in normal arterial blood increases its oxygen concentration approximately how many times? A. 10 B. 30 C. 50 D. 70 E. 90 Answer: D. Normal arterial blood has a Po2 of about 100 mm Hg. The concentration of oxygen in the absence of hemoglobin is the dissolved oxygen, which is 100 × 0.003, or 0.3 ml 02.100 ml-1 blood. However, normal arterial blood contains about 15 g.100 ml-1 of hemo- globin, and each gram can combine with 1.39 ml O2. Since the oxygen saturation of normal arterial blood is about 97%, the total oxygen con- centration is given by (1.39 × 15 × 97/100) + 0.3 ml 02.100 ml-1 blood. This is about 20.5 as opposed to the dissolved oxygen concentration of 0.3 ml 02.100 ml-1 blood. Therefore, the presence of hemoglobin increases the oxygen concentration about 70 times.
Which of the following is (are) true of oxygen toxicity?  I. Free radicals are produced in an abundance, leading to cell damage and death  II. Can result in physiologic shunting  III. Can be avoided by limiting 02 exposure to < 70% concentration at all times  IV. Is marked by an increased in neutrophils and macrophages, common immune responses A. I, II, III B. I, II and IV C. I, II, III and IV
