Question
Answer
Ficks law   show
🗑
show Blood comes into equilibrium with alveolar gas Doubling diffusion capacity wont alter amount of gas exchanged Doubling blood flow will double amount of gas exchanges  
🗑
show Partial pressure gradient remains essentially constant along capillary Doubling blood flow wont change the amount of gas exchanged Doubling diffusion capacity will double exchange  
🗑
What determines perfusion or diffusion limitation   show
🗑
Inert gases   show
🗑
show Solubility on blood is greater than in membrane as they react with blood They equilibrate slowly At rest they equilibrate over 1/3 of a capillary in 0.25 secs This is slowed in pulmonary fibrosis with thickened membrane  
🗑
show Solubility in membrane greater than in blood Diffusion limited Can be used to measure diffusing capacity of lung as this affects rate of exchange Measure gas uptake, conc in alveoli and venous blood  
🗑
show Can only use b to include chemical reaction with blood is speed is fast 1/Dl = 1/Dm + 1/sigmaVc Sigma = diffusing capacity in blood Rate of reaction of O2 with free Hb is faster than RBCs, so limit is diffusion not reaction  
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
