The correct Answer is:
To determine which statement is not true, we need to analyze each of the provided statements regarding the partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in deoxygenated blood and alveolar air. ### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Statements**: - **Statement 1**: The partial pressure of oxygen in deoxygenated blood is 40 mmHg. - **Statement 2**: The partial pressure of oxygen in deoxygenated blood is 95 mmHg. - **Statement 3**: The partial pressure of oxygen in alveolar air is 104 mmHg. - **Statement 4**: The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in alveolar air is 95 mmHg. 2. **Evaluating Statement 1**: - The partial pressure of oxygen in deoxygenated blood is typically around 40 mmHg. This statement is true. 3. **Evaluating Statement 2**: - The partial pressure of oxygen in deoxygenated blood cannot be 95 mmHg. This value is more characteristic of oxygenated blood. Therefore, this statement is false. 4. **Evaluating Statement 3**: - The partial pressure of oxygen in alveolar air is approximately 104 mmHg. This statement is true. 5. **Evaluating Statement 4**: - The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in alveolar air is generally around 40 mmHg, not 95 mmHg. This statement is also false. 6. **Conclusion**: - The statements that are not true are Statement 2 and Statement 4. However, since the question asks for one statement that is not true, we can conclude that Statement 2 is the most clearly incorrect regarding the partial pressure of oxygen in deoxygenated blood. ### Final Answer: The statement that is not true is: **The partial pressure of oxygen in deoxygenated blood is 95 mmHg.**
