About this Chapter
• Getting CO2 & O2 dissolved for transport
• How oxygen is transported, role of hemoglobin
• How carbon dioxide is transported
• Regulators that sense and coordinate respiration
with circulation for gas transport

Solubility of Gasses
• Pressure gradient: lower at high altitudes
• Temperature: constant in warm blooded humans
• Solubility (solute & solvent): O2 or CO2 in water

Gas Exchange in the Lungs and Tissues: Oxygen
• Diffusion through alveolar thin cells
• Down diffusion gradient
• Higher in alveoli
• Lower in blood
• Diffusion from blood
• Also down gradient
• To ECF
• To tissue cells (convert O2 to CO2)

Gas Exchange in the Lungs and Tissues:
Carbon Dioxide
• Diffusion out of cells (down diffusion gradient)
• Into blood
• Buffer role
• Conversions:
• Plasma
• Bicarbonate
• On Hb
• Into alveolus & expiration

Alveolar Exchange and Diseases Related to
Exchange
• Wet surface
• Thin epithelia
• Little ECF
• Diseases:
• Emphysema
• Fibrotic Lung
• Pulmonary edema
• Asthma

Gas Transport in the Blood: Oxygen
• 2% in plasma
• 98% in
hemoglobin (Hb)
• Blood holds O2
reserve

Hemoglobin Transport of Oxygen:
Disassociation Curve
• 4 binding sites per Hb molecule
• 98% saturated in alveolar arteries
• Resting cell PO2 = 40 mmHg
• Working cell PO2 = 20 mmHg
• More unloaded with more need
• 75% in reserve at normal activity
