In the systemic circulation, the P_O2 of arterial blood exceeds the P_O2 of venous blood, while the reverse is true for the pulmonary circulation.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

This statement is true. In the systemic circulation, arterial blood contains higher levels of oxygenated hemoglobin (PS1U1B1O2S1U1B0) than venous blood, which has a higher level of deoxygenated hemoglobin (PS1U1B0O2S1U1B0). In contrast, in the pulmonary circulation, venous blood has a higher level of oxygenated hemoglobin (PS1U1B1O2S1U1B0) than arterial blood, which has a higher level of deoxygenated hemoglobin (PS1U1B0O2S1U1B0).
