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

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

Gas Exchange
• Oxygen diffuses across alveolar epithelial cells and capillary endothelial cells to enter the plasma – respiratory membrane

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
