Arrange the following in the ascending ( small to large) order of the percentage of dissolving CO2.
1 plasma
2 hemoglobin
3 cytoplasm of RBC
a) 2,3,1
b)1,3,2,
c)2,1,3
d)3,2,1
e)1,2,3
f) 3,1,2
a) How much more O2 can be transported by the blood when erythrocytesleave the lungs? Consider that a normal adult has a concentration of 15 g hemoglobin/100 mL of bloodand that the hemoglobin is 98% saturated with O2 at the usual pO2 of 100 torr in the lung at sea level.
b) On the basis of the graph, explain how myoglobin facilitates the diffusion of O2 through muscle cells. Would myoglobin be effective as an O2-transport protein in cells of other tissues? Explain.
Would you expect the concentration of HCO3 to be higher in blood plasma taken from a systemic artery or a systemic vein?

In blood in the pulmonary veins?arrow_forwardReferring to the figure shown, the movement of glucose is from the lumen of the duodenum through an interstitial cell, out to the extracellular fluid, and into a capillary. What would happen if the action of the Na+–K+ pumps was reduced? A)The rate of flow of glucose into the interstitial cells would be increased. B)The direction of flow of glucose would be reversed. C)The rate of flow of glucose into the interstitial cells would be reduced. D)Nothing would differ: the movement of glucose would be the same as before the reversal.arrow_forward

Assuming that this is evenly distributedthroughout a parallel network consisting of the capillaries found in (b),estimate the pressure drop across the capillary bed. Assume Newtonian,laminar flow in the capillaries with μeff of 3.5 cP. What percentage ofthe total 85mmHg systemic pressure drop is this?arrow_forward
- including Fick's law, what are three physical conditions that can optimize the rate of diffusion of a gas across a membrane?arrow_forwardLiver disease often results in ascites (increasing abdominal fluid) and other forms of systemic edema. This is due to the decrease in synthesis by the liver of which of the following? (A) fibrinogen and other clotting proteins (B) transferrin and other transport proteins (C) cholesterol and its transport proteins (D) albuminarrow_forwardA membrane can separate gas mixture because different gases have different permeability through the membrane. The permeate flux across unit membrane area under unit pressure gradient is called permeability and the ratio between the permeability of gas A and that of gas B is defined as selectivity of A to B. Membrane separation process depends upon five separation mechanisms including molecular sieving, Knudsendiffٴusion, solution diffٴusion, surface diffusion, and capillary condensation. Using a schematic diagram, elaborate on the mechanism of surface diffusion and solution diffusion in membrane separation.arrow_forward
