Document Summary

Exchange and transport: oxygen enters the blood at the alveolar-capillary interface, oxygen is transported in blood dissolved in plasma or bound to hemoglobin inside. Red blood cells: oxygen diffuse into cells, co2 diffuses out of cells, co2 is transported dissolved, bound to hemoglobin or as hco3, co2 enters alveoli-capillary interface. The amount of pressure due to a specific gas is the partial pressure of that gas. A difference in partial pressure is the driving force for diffusion of a gas. Gases diffuse from a region of high partial pressure to a region of low partial pressure. Blood po2 and pco2 leaving lungs=po2 &pco2 in alveoli. Blood po2&pco2 leaving systemic capillary has the same. In most animals, oxygen is carried by respiratory pigments. Tissues at rest- 75% saturation of hemoglobin, one out of four subunits release oxygen into the cell for it to use. Tissues during exercise- 18% saturation of oxygen, releases 80% of oxygen for cells to use.
