Which of the following statements about partial pressures of gases in the lungs is true?
A) Po_₂ in the lungs > Po_₂ in the blood; Pco₂ in the lungs > Pco_₂ in the blood
Po_₂ in the lungs > Po₂ in the blood; Pco₂ in the lungs < Pco₂ in the blood
Po₂ in the lungs > Po₂ in the blood; Pco₂ in the lungs = Pco₂ in the blood
Po₂ in the lungs < Po₂ in the blood; Pco₂ in the lungs is < Pco₂ in the blood
Po₂ in the lungs < Po₂ in the blood; Pco₂ in the lungs > Pco₂ in the blood
