Calculate total blood o2 content

Reference no: EM133360959

Question: Calculate total blood O2 content (mL). Assume 100% saturation and maximum solubility in blood plasma. Be sure to use your calculated values for mL O2/g Hb and g Hb in the blood. Assume 1% for the buffy coat when calculating plasma-dissolved O2.

The total blood hemoglobin content for a female at the bottom of the normal range (minimum reference value of 12 g/dL) is 480 grams.

-First, calculate the bound portion (which will be most of blood O2 content). You can use the values you calculated previously to solve for this bound volume of O2.

USE these VALUES = 25,020 mL O2 bound to 1g of hemoglobin at 1 atm and 37°C

Total blood hemoglobin content = 480 g

-Second, there is an additional amount of oxygen (a small amount) dissolved in blood plasma you must solve for and add to the first number. Answer the questions below, complete the plasma calculation, and complete the total calculation by summation of the values obtained.
