Laws

Boyle's Law

Henry's Law

Dalton's Law

At a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas that dissolves in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.

The total pressure of a mixture of gases is the sum of the partial pressures of each gas in the mixture; it is only true for ideal gases.

volume increases pressure decreases when temperature is consistant

Gas Transport

Oxygen

Medullary Respiration Centers

  1. oxygen is inhaled and goes to alveoli
  1. goes to capillaries via diffusion
  1. transported within blood throughout body
  1. moves to systematic cells
  1. moves from systematic cells to blood via diffusion

2.transported in blood to lungs

3.diffuses into aveoli

  1. exhaled out of body

VRG

DRG

sends signals to diaphragm to change breathing rate

detect increase in blood ph

proprioceptors

muscles and joints activated by movement

baroeceptors

respond to stretch in lungs
