will rate fast

will rate fast Based on an assumed tissue molar concentration for hemoglobin

Based on an assumed tissue molar concentration for hemoglobin of 100 microMolar (UM), and for the case of a hemoglobin oxygen saturation of 85% averaged over the capillary bed so that oxy-Hemoglobin concentration (CHbO2) is 85 micromolar (um) and deoxy-hemoglobin concentration (CHb) is 15 micromolar (UM). (a)Find the absorption coefficient, Ma, of tissue due to total hemoglobin at a wavelength of 700 nm. Use Hb = 4000 cm-1M and HbO2 = 700 cm-1M. (b) What would be the absorption coefficient and mean-free-path for absorption (ua) at 420 nm? Use at 420nm: eHb = HbO2 = 1x106cm-1M (c) Calculate mean free paths at these wavelengths. What can you infer by comparing the mean-free-paths or absorption coefficients at 420nm and 700nm? =
