B4-035 O2 and CO2 Transport Flashcards
CO2 diffuses [….] than O2
more readily
perfusion or diffusion limited?
gas equilibrates early along the length of the capillary
perfusion limited
perfusion or diffusion limited?
exchange can only be increased if blood flood increases
perfusion limited
perfusion or diffusion limited?
O2 (normal health), CO2, N2O
perfusion limited
perfusion or diffusion limited?
gas does not equilibriate by the time blood reaches the end of the capillary
diffusion limited
perfusion or diffusion limited?
O2 (empysema, fibrosis) CO
diffusion limited
O2 diffuses […] across the alveolar membrane
slowly
CO2 diffuses […] across the cell membrane
rapidly
dissolved oxygen contributes to the […] of oxygen in blood
partial pressure
[…] dictates hemoglobin/O2 characteristics
partial pressure of oxygen in blood
very little O2 is carried in the […]form
dissolved
- partial pressure of O2 in blood
- determined by molecules of O2 contained in the liquid phase
blood PO2
right shift of curve results in
more oxygen being unloaded where needed
left shift of curve indicates
more O2 saturation to carry oxygen where its needed
downward shift of curve indcates
change in Hemoglobin amount
upward shift of curve indicates
increase in dissolved PO2
a-v O2 difference reflects
oxygen consumption by the body
three forms of CO2 in blood
HCO3-
HbCO2
dissolved
as CO2 enters the blood […] leaves O2
hemoglobin
