31) As compared with atmosphere indicate the partial pressure of O2 in pulmonary vein.
(A) 45 mm Hg
(B) 40 mm Hg
(C) 95 mm Hg
(D) 104 mm Hg

Dear student

Please refer the solution below for the said query

The correct option is C.

The partial pressure of atmospheric O2 is about 159 mm Hg. The partial pressure of O2 in alveoli becomes 104 mm Hg while the partial pressure of O2 in pulmonary blood is 95 mm Hg. This allows the oxygen to flow from high pressure to low pressure i.e from atmosphere to alveoli to pulmonary vein. 


Hope this information clears your doubt about the topic.
