Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding Partial Pressure of CO2 (PCO2)**: - The partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PCO2) is a measure of the concentration of CO2 in the blood. It plays a crucial role in the transport of oxygen in the body. 2. **Oxygen Transport in the Alveoli**: - In the alveoli (the tiny air sacs in the lungs), the PCO2 is low while the partial pressure of oxygen (PO2) is high. This environment promotes the binding of oxygen to hemoglobin, forming oxyhemoglobin. ...
