Q

External Respiration in Lungs: oxygen process

A

– Oxygen diffuses from alveolar air (PO2 105 mmHg) into blood of pulmonary capillaries (PO2 40 mmHg)
– Diffusion continues until PO2 of pulmonary capillary blood matches PO2 of alveolar air
– Small amount of mixing with blood from conducting portion of respiratory system drops PO2 of blood in pulmonary veins to 100 mmHg

106

108
Q

Internal Respiration: oxygen process

A

– Oxygen diffuses from systemic capillary blood (PO2 100 mmHg) into

– Blood drops to 40 mmHg by the time blood exits the systemic
capillaries

109
Q

Internal Respiration: carbon dioxide process

A

– Carbon dioxide diffuses from tissue cells (PCO2 45 mmHg) into systemic
capillaries (PCO2 40 mmHg) – cells constantly make carbon dioxide

116
Q

A

Oxyhemoglobin

117
Q

Cooperative binding

A

once an oxygen binds to one site, iron moves
slightly and so do parts of the peptide chains
attached to it, making it easier for the next oxygen
to bind until all 4 sites are occupied by oxygen
