  1. Chapter 18a Gas Exchange and Transport

  2. About this Chapter • Diffusion and solubility of gases • Gas exchange in lungs and tissues • Gas transport in the blood • Regulation of ventilation

  3. Overview • Oxygen and carbon dioxide move into and out of the blood at pulmonary and systemic capillaries • Internal respiration O2 CO2 Airways Alveoli of lungs O2 CO2 6 CO2 exchangeat alveolar-capillaryinterface 1 Oxygen exchangeat alveolar-capillaryinterface O2 CO2 Pulmonarycirculation 2 Oxygen transport 5 CO2 transport Systemiccirculation CO2 O2 4 CO2 exchangeat cells Oxygen exchangeat cells 3 CO2 O2 Cellularrespiration Cells Nutrients ATP Figure 18-1

  4. Diffusion and Solubility • Constants influencing diffusion in the lungs • Surface area • Contact between air and blood • Membrane thickness • Alveoli and endothelium • Diffusion distance • Distance between blood and air • Concentration gradient • Most important factor as others usually are constant

  5. Movement of Gases • Pressure gradient • Partial pressure change • Solubility • Gas into liquid • Temperature • Higher faster

  6. Gases in Solution PO2 =100 mm Hg PO2 = 100 mm Hg [O2] =5.20 mmol/L PO2 =100 mm Hg PO2 = 0 mm Hg [O2] =0.15 mmol/L (a) (b) (c) Figure 18-2a–c

  12. Causes of Low Alveolar PO2 • Inspired air has abnormally low oxygen content • Altitude • Alveolar ventilation is inadequate • Decreased lung compliance • Increased airway resistance • Overdose of drugs • What types??

  13. Alveolar Ventilation • Pathological conditions that reduce alveolar ventilation and gas exchange Figure 18-4a

  14. Alveolar Ventilation Fewer alveoli Figure 18-4b

  15. Alveolar Ventilation Low compliance Figure 18-4c

  18. Gas Exchange • Oxygen diffuses across alveolar epithelial cells and capillary endothelial cells to enter the plasma – respiratory membrane Surfactant Alveolarair space O2 Alveolarepithelium Fused basementmembranes 0.1–1.5 m Nucleus ofendothelialcell O2 Capillarylumen Plasma RBC Figure 18-5

  19. Gas Exchange • Pathological changes • Decrease in amount of alveolar surface area • emphysema • Increase in thickness of alveolar membrane • fibrosis • Increase in diffusion distance between alveoli and blood • pneumonia
