physiology chapter 41 guyton Flashcards
presence of hb in rbcs allows the blood to transport as much oxygen as could be transported in the form of dissolved oxygen in the water of blood
30 to 100 times
pressure of gaseous oxygen in alveolus averages
104 mm of hg
pressure of oxygen in venous blood entering the pulmonary capillaries at its arterial end averages only
40 mm of hg
initial pressure difference which causes the diffusion of oxygen from alveolus to pulmonary capillary
104-40= 64 mm of hg
partial pressure of oxygen in pulmonary capillary blood rises rapidly to almost to that of alveolar air by the blood has moved
a THIRD of a distance through capillary
during strenuous exercise a persons body may require as much as
20 times normal amount of oxygen
due to great cardiac output during exercise the time for which blood remains in the blood capillary may be reduced to
one half normal
diffusing capacity for O2 increases threefold during exercise due to
1) increased surface area of capillaries
2) ideal ventilation profusion ratio in upper part of lungs
blood becomes fully saturated with o2 during non exercising condition when it passes through
one third of capillary. only little oxygen is added during next two thirds
bronchial circulation
*2 percent of blood
*supplies maily the deep tissues of lungs
*not exposed to lung air
*called as SHUNT FLOW
*PO2 of shunt flow is 40 mm of hg
* causes the PO2 of blood to fall to 95 mm of hg fron
104 mm of hg
po2 in peripheral capillaries
95 mmof hg
interstitial PO2
40 mm of hg
blood leaving the tissue capillaries and entering the systemic veins has PO2
40 mm of hg
increasing the blood flow through a particular tissue
*increases the o2 transport between capillaries and tissues and hence increases the PO2 OF INTERSTITIAL FLUID
400% increase in blood flow than normal through a particular tissue
increases the po2 in interstitial fluid from normal of 40 mm of hg to 66 mm of hg
greater the metabolism of oxygen bt the cells
lesser will be the po2
po2 is determined by
- transport of oxygen to tissues through blood
* the rate at which oxygen is used by cells
the intracellulae PO2 is always less thn peripheral capillaries because
02 is continuously being used the cells
