Chapter 1 – Dissolved Oxygen in the Blood
Chapter 1 Dissolved Oxygen in the Blood Say we have a volume of Blood , which we ll represent as a beaker of fluid. Now let s include Oxygen in the gas above the Blood (represented by the green circles). The Oxygen exerts a certain amount of partial pressure, which is a measure of the concentration of Oxygen in the gas (represented by the pink arrows). This pressure causes some of the Oxygen to become Dissolved in the Blood . If we raise the concentration of Oxygen in the gas, it will have a higher partial pressure, and consequently more Oxygen will become Dissolved in the Blood . Keep in mind that what we are describing is a dynamic process, with Oxygen coming in and out of the Blood all the time, in order to maintain a certain concentration of Dissolved Oxygen .
