Chapter 15, Problem 36RQ
Summary Introduction
To calculate: The cardiac output if the oxygen content of blood in aorta is 200 mLO2/L, the oxygen content of blood in the pulmonary artery is 160 mLO2/L, and the total body oxygen consumption is 250 mL/min.
Introduction: Cardiac output is the product of heart rate and stroke volume. It is the amount of blood pumped by the heart per minute.

A forearm skeletal muscle has a hemoglobin concentration of 92 microM. An arterial occlusion of the upper arm determines a decrease in saturation at a rate of 15% per minute, and no change in blood volume. Find the muscle oxygen consumption in units of micromolo2/(100 mltissue-min).
Make a list of the different physiological equations:
Equation to calculate CaO2 (content of oxygen in arterial blood) and assume 100% saturation and no oxygen diffused in solution; all is carried by hemoglobin (what is the hemoglobin binding constant?) =
In a study of O2 uptake by muscle at high altitude, a physiologist prepares an atmosphere consisting of 79 mole % N2, 17 mole % 16O2, and 4.0 mole % 18O2. (The isotope 18O will be measured to determine O2 uptake.) The total pressure is 0.75 atm to simulate high altitude. Calculate the mole fraction and partial pressure of 18O2 in the mixture.

- decreases (43 As indicated in the figure below, as blood flows through capillaries, the blood mmHg at inlet to 15 mmHg at outlet). Let's assume that this decrease in pressure is a linear function of length (x) and can be described by the following equation: pressure Pc(x) = (43 – 28x) mmHg We can assume that the other hydrostatic and osmotic pressures do not change along the length of the capillary. Specifically, oncotic pressure in the capillary is 28 mmHg. In the interstitial fluid surrounding our capillaries, hydrostatic pressure in the interstitial fluid surrounding the capillaries is about –2.0 mmHg, and osmotic pressure of about 1.0 mmHg. At what length value of x does flow switch from going out of the capillaries into the surrounding tissue to into the capillaries from the surrounding tissue? Don't worry about the units of x. We can think of x as a fraction representing how far down the capillary we are relative to total length. For example, x of 0.5 would be halfway down the…arrow_forwardThe hemoglobin of a human fetus differs from adult hemoglobin.
