Question
Chapter 23, Problem 23.3.7AYLO
Summary Introduction
To analyze:
The components of the respiratory membrane and the importance of the membrane in gas exchange.
Introduction:
The gaseous exchange takes place in the respiratory system. The air inspired is transported to the alveoli in the lungs, where the exchange of gases takes place. The exchange of gases depends on the partial pressure of the gases. The oxygen from the alveoli (partial pressure of oxygen is more than blood) reversible binds to the Hb (hemoglobin) in the blood and produces compound oxyhemoglobin.

Students have asked these similar questions
The primary bronchi and pulmonary blood vessels penetrate the lung at a medial slit called the _____.
How a negative pressure breath from a mechanical ventilator affects the intra-alveolar pressure, pleural pressure, and the excursion of the diaphragm, and gas flow during inspiration and expiration.
True or False and why. "If a person exhibits alveolar partial pressure for oxygen equivalent to that of the humidified inspired air, then this could mean that alveolar ventilation and capillary blood flow are above normal rates".
