Summary Introduction
To determine: The maximum oxygen
Introduction: A molecule of hemoglobin is able to bind a total of four oxygen molecules. When the partial pressure of oxygen is 100 mm Hg, plasma of blood possesses 0.3 ml of oxygen per deciliter of blood, and at this value, the hemoglobin is 98% saturated.

In a woman with body mass 70 kg blood quantity is 4.9 liters; hematocrit is 32%, the quantity of erythrocytes is 3.0*10^12/l, hemoglobin is 105 g/l color parameter is 1.0, the minimum osmotic resistance of erythrocytes is 0.38%NaCl; the maximum osmotic resistance of erythrocytes is 0.34%NaCl Such blood analises testifies first of all about:
A. the water excess in the organism
B. the lack of water in the organism
C. osmotic hemolysis of erythrocytes
D. chemical hemolysis of erythrocytes
E. the lack of iron in blood plasma
