Gas exchange question.

5. An air bubble is introduced into the body at the time of surgery. Assume that the gases in the bubble diffuse and exchange readily with those of local tissue. PB = 760 PO2 = 150 PCO2 = 0 PH2O = 47 PN2 = 563 760 PO2 = 100 PCO2 = 40 PH20 = 47 PN2 = 573 PO2 = 40 PCO2 = 46 PH2O = 47 PN2 = 573 706 760 A. Why is the sum of the partial pressures in venous blood less than PB? B. What will happen to the bubble? Why? C. Assume that the patient is placed on 100% oxygen. What effect, if any, will that have? 5 5. An air bubble is introduced into the body at the time of surgery.
