Biology

Valentin [98]1 year ago

The main structure of epidermis is composed of 4 layers or strata. From bottom to top, these are:

  1. stratum basale attached to the basement membrane.
  2. two intermediate layers (stratum spinosum and stratum granulosum), and
  3. at the top is stratum corneum.
  4. There is also a 'thick skin' or the fifth stratum present at the feet and palm, known as stratum lucidum. It is present between the stratum corneum and the stratum granulosum.

Stratum basale is the deepest layer attached to the basement. Stratum spinosum makes the skin strong and flexible. Stratum granulosum prevents water loss from the body.  Stratum corneum acts as  a protective barrier on the outermost side of the skin. Stratum lucidum is made up of dead cells present only in thick skin.

The most important factor that determines the percent of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is
erik [133]

Answer:

This question lacks options, options are:

a) The partial pressure of oxygen

b) Acidity

c) The partial pressure of carbon dioxide

d) Temperature

e) BPG

The correct answer is a. The most important factor that determines the percent of oxygen saturation of hemoglobin is <u>The partial pressure of oxygen </u>.

Explanation:

Hemoglobin is an oxygen transport protein. Partial Oxygen Pressure (PaO2), measures the pressure of dissolved oxygen in the blood, that is, it shows how well oxygen passes from the lungs into the bloodstream. A high partial pressure of oxygen in the blood produces an almost complete saturation of hemoglobin, which indicates the maximum amount of oxygen that combines, but when PaO2 is reduced, so is hemoglobin saturation, when saturation is below 90% hypoxemia occurs, that is, the level below normal blood oxygen levels.
