1
What is the total atmosphere pressure and what are the Partial pressures?
ATM = 760 mmHg
Nitrogen 78% = PN2 597 mmHg
oxygen 20.9% =PO2 160mmHg
Carbon Dioxide 0.04% = PCO2 0.3mmHg
2
What does Henrys Law state?
Pressure, solubility, and temp effect behavior of gas in liquid
Increase in temp = decreases in solubility
CO2 has greates solubility
o2 has 1/20 the sol of co2
3
What factors influence the movement of gas over the resp membrane?
PP of gas
solubility of gas
pulmonary vent rate
surface area of membrane
thickness of membrane
4
What are the 2 methods of blood transport?
Dissolved in plasma 1.5%
Bound to hemoglobin 98.5%
5
What are the 3 notable structures in hemoglobin?
Hema pigments = nitrogen protein holding iron
Iron (Fe) = oxygen carrier = 1 unit / 4 units per hemoglobin
Protein = called globin

6
What is oxygen affinity?
How fast the polygon can bind and unbind from the hemoglobin
7
What are the normal conditions for hemoglobin unloading 02?
20% of 02 us released of hemoglobin to tissue
8
What is the increased unloading of o2?
When in o2/energy is needed > CO2 builds up > leading to quicker release of o2 due to pressure gradient
9
What causes a R shift in the curve and what does this mean?
Increase in temp
increase in PCO2
decreas in pH
increase in 2,3 Biophosphoglycerate (BPG)

Means decreased affinity
10
What cause a L shift in the curve and what does this mean?
Increase in pH
decreases in temp
decrease in PCO2
decrease in BPG
11
What is 2,3 Biphosphoglycerate ?
Byprodyct of burning ATP
