Physiology of Gas Exchange, Transportation, and Regulation
Gas Exchange
structure: respiratory membrane (type I pneumocytes that make a simple squamous boundary where gas diffuses)
governing factors
gas laws
Henry's Law
at a given temp. the amount of gas in solution is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas
Fick's Law
diffusion of a gas depends on the molecular weight & solubility of the gas, the surface area, and thickness of the membrane
