• Partial pressure– The pressure exerted by each type of gas in a
mixture
• Diffusion of gases through liquids– Concentration of a gas in a liquid is determined
by its partial pressure and its solubility coefficient

• Transport of gases between the alveoli and (pulmonary) capillaries and eventually from the capillaries to the tissues
• diffusion dependent on perfusion and the partial pressure (pp) exerted by each gas
• gases diffuse from area of conc. (pp) to conc. (pp)

Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide Diffusion Gradients
• Oxygen– Moves from alveoli into
blood. Blood is almost completely saturated with oxygen when it leaves the capillary
– P02 in blood decreases because of mixing with deoxygenated blood
– Oxygen moves from tissue capillaries into the tissues
• Carbon dioxide– Moves from tissues into
tissue capillaries
– Moves from pulmonary capillaries into the alveoli

Matching ventilation & perfusionVentilation and perfusion (blood flow) are both better at the bottom (base) of the lung than that at the top (apex). But the change in blood flow is more steep than in ventilation. Therefore the ventilation/perfusion ratio rises sharply from the base to the apex.Result:Result: V/Q is greater or less V/Q is greater or less than 0.8 in different than 0.8 in different regionsregions
If V/Q <0.8 = shunt like, If V/Q > 0.8 little benefit, Increases A - a gradient

2. Partial Pressure of the Gases
1) Alveoli ventilation
2) Blood perfusion in the lung capillary
3) Speed of the chemical reaction
The slow speed of the chemical reaction HCO3- + H+
----- H2CO3 ---H2O + CO2 reduces the CO2 exchange in the lung. So, during the gas exchange in the external respiration, the exchange of CO2 is a little lower than that of O2.

3. Properties of the Lung
1) Area of the respiratory membrane
2) Distance of the diffusion
3) Viscosity of the medium during diffusion
![Page 27: Section 2 Respiratory Gases Exchange I Physical Principles of Gas Exchange.](https://reader035.fdocuments.us/reader035/viewer/2022062308/56649eda5503460f94be9199/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
V Pulmonary Diffusion CapacityThe ability of the respiratory membrane to exchange a gas between the alveoli and the pulmonary blood can be expressed in quantitative terms by its diffusing capacity, which is defined as the volume of a gas that diffuses through the membrane each minute for a pressure of 1 mmHg.
DL = V/(PA – PC)
Where V is a gas that diffuses through the membrane each minute, PA is the average partial pressure of a gas in the air of alveoli, PC is the average partial pressure of a gas in the blood of pulmonary capillary.
