description

A number of quantities are known which enable to characterize the state of oxygen in blood, for instance: the concentration, which means the physically solved mass per volume; or the content, which comprises the whole mass per volume irrespective of the molecular state; or capacity, which is the chemically bound mass of oxygen per volume and, relatively, the saturation, or the oxygen partial pressure. These various quantities may be divided into two types: the mass-related and the not-mass-related ones.
