Gas exchange Flashcards
the _____________ is responsible for carrying gas of respiration
circulatory system
The basic components of gas transfer
- breathing movement, ventilation no stagnation
- diffusion of O2, Co2 across respiratory epithelium
- bulk resport of gases by blood
- diffusion of gases across epithelium
total pressure is
the sum of all the partial pressures
the partial press of 02 in. the tissue is significantly lower at _______________
facilitating diffusion
Because respiration uses diffusion ATP is not necessary , it is an entirely _____________
passive process
Each bodily area of respiration is driven by ________________________
partial pressure and passive diffusion
____________ are move down their concentration. gradients during respiration
O2 and CO2
________ made of a protein and a metal
respiratory pigment
Example of respiratory pigments
hemoglobin and myoglobin
What is the purpose of respiratory pigments
they bind oxygen cooperatively and carry it throughout the blood
myoglobin and hemoglobin serve different ______________________
physiological needs for oxygen because of their vastly differ affinities for oxygen
__________ has a high P50 and thus a lower oxygen affinity
hemoglobins
_________ has a very low p50 and thus a very high 02 affinity
myoglobin
myoglobin serves a s a _________________
reservoir of oxygen, like an emergency battery
____________ describes the effect of protons and CO2 on the binding affinity of oxygen to hemoglobin
Bohr effect
