The relationship between the torr and the millimeter of mercury is: 1 Torr = 0.999 999 857 533 699... mmHg; 1 mmHg = 1.000 000 142 466 321... Torr; The difference between one millimeter of mercury and one torr, as well as between one atmosphere (101.325 kPa) and 760 mmHg (101.3250144354 kPa), is less than one part in seven million (or less than ...
Firstly, as the air enters the lungs, it is humidified by the upper airway and thus the partial pressure of water vapour (47 mmHg) reduces the oxygen partial pressure to about 150 mmHg. The rest of the difference is due to the continual uptake of oxygen by the pulmonary capillaries , and the continual diffusion of CO 2 out of the capillaries ...

For nearly all intents and purposes, torr is the same as mmHg. However, in most scientific journals, torr usually refers to mmHg (Absolute), (ie: 0 torr = total vacuum), whereas mmHg refers to non-absolute readings, (ie: 0 mmHg = air pressure = 760 torr. Likewise, total vacuum = -760 mmHg). So, 120/80 mmHg will usually equal 880/840 torr .
The ubiquity of this instrument led to mmHg becoming a common unit of measure of pressure. It is also related to another unit of pressure, the torr. The mmHg is not an SI unit but is still sometimes found in use, particularly in medicine. [6] In SI units, 1 mmHg is approximately 133 Pa . [7]

Mercury barometer. A millimetre of mercury is a manometric unit of pressure, formerly defined as the extra pressure generated by a column of mercury one millimetre high, and currently defined as exactly 133.322 387 415 pascals [1] or approximately 133.322 pascals. [2]
