To determine: Whether the breathing of pure oxygen would cause a large increase in oxygen transport by the blood in a healthy person.
Introduction: During the respiratory process, the oxygen must move throughout the alveolar membranes into the pulmonary capillaries, be carried by the blood to the tissues, exit the tissue capillaries, and cross plasma membranes to enter the cells.
To determine: Whether the breathing of pure oxygen would cause a large increase in oxygen transport by the blood in a person with a low alveolar
