Test 3: Wk11: 7.1 Gas Transport and Diffusion - Dasgupta Flashcards
there is a direct correlation between the partial pressure of gasses and
the concentration of gasses
0.3 % Vol O2 in plasma = PaO2 100 mmHg
then 0.6% Vol O2 in plasma =
200 mmHg
O2 is carried in what two forms in the blood
dissolved in plasma and bound to hemoglobin
O2 solubility
very insoluble
amount of O2 dissolved in arterial blood in lungs
0.3 ml O2 /100ml
3 ml O2 / L
0.3 vol %
partial pressure of oxygen is due to dissolved oxygen in plasma not
oxygen bound to hemoglobin
each molecule of Hb binds to — molecules of O2
4
majority of O2 in blood is bound to
Hb
O2 available to tissues is through
dissolved O2
Hb is a — for oxygen
buffer/ reservoir
Capillary PO2 deoxygenated
40 mmHg
gasses move
down partial pressure gradients
O2 dissociates from – and goes into solution in plasma
Hb
Dissolved gas diffuses — into interstitial space
down partial pressure gradient
PO2 in arterial blood
100 mmHg
Hb saturation arterial blood
97.4 %
PO2 in venous blood
40 mmHg
Hb saturation venous blood
75%
Amount of oxygen bound to Hb=
1.34 X amount of hemoglobin X % of Hb saturated with oxygen.
Arterial oxygen content %
19.8 volume %
Venous oxygen content %
14.8 volume %
volume % of O2 unloaded to tissue
5%
Hb protects tissue from
large fluctuations in O2 partial pressure
In anemia PVO2 is
decreased
Hb affinitiy for Co is —
200x more than O2
O2 Capacity
maximal amount of oxygen Hb is capable of carrying. Does not include dissolved oxygen
O2 Capacity in polycythemia (high Hb)
increased
O2 capacity in Anemia (Low Hb)
decreased
O2 capacity in CO poisoning
decreased
O2 capacity =
O2 content - O2 dissolved
Hb saturation =
Hb saturation = O2 bound to Hb / O2 capacity x 100
Pulse Oximeter measures
saturation of Hb by using wavelengths
Normal Arterial pH
7.36-7.45
Normal Arterial PO2
80-100mmHg
Normal Arterial PCO2
35-45
Normal Arterial HCO3
23-28 meg/ml
Normal Arterial O2 saturation
95-100%
P50
partial pressure of O2 when Hb is 50% saturated
approx 26mmHg
Hb curve shift right
lower affinity for O2
Hb curve shift left
higher affinity for O2
What happens to Hb and P50 during exercise
Hb unloads more O2
P50 increases
CO2 transported 3 ways
dissolved in plasma
as HCO3
bound to Hb
CO2 can diffuse times as rapidly as O2
20
Hambruger/ Chloride Shift
Cl goes into RBC as HCO3 leaves to maintain electroneutrality
reverse in lung
CO2 reacts with deoxygenated Hb to form
carbamino compounds
% CO2 transported as carbamino compounds
5%
Hb has loww affinity for CO2
