For diffusion to occur , source of energy provided by kinetic energy of molecules themselves.
Net diffusion – effect of concentration
gradient i.e. net diffusion of a
gas occurs from high conc.
area to low conc. area of
that gas. 404/08/23

• Pressure caused by constt. impact of
moving molecules against a surface.
• Pressure proportional to conc. of gas
molecules.
• Rate of diffusion of each gas proportional
to pr. caused by each alone c/a partial
pressure of that gas.504/08/23

Total pr. of atmospheric air at sea level –
760 mm Hg
• 21% of O₂ of 760 = 160 mm Hg = Po₂
• 79% of N₂ of 760 = 600 mm Hg = PN₂

Factors determining pr. Of a gas dissolved in fluid :
i. Conc. Of gasii. Solubility coefficient of gas.
• Some gas molecules more attracted towards water than others (CO₂) which become dissolved easily without building up excess pressure.

• Whereas some molecules are repelled by
water , pressure builds up even when
fewer molecules are dissolved.
Henry’s law :
partial pr. = conc. Of dissolved gas/
solubility coefficient

When partial pr. of a gas is > in alveoli
than pulmonary blood (O₂) , gas diffuses
out of the alveoli into pulmonary blood .
If partial pr. of a gas is > in dissolved
phase in pulmonary blood (CO₂) , gas
diffuses out of pulmonary blood into the
alveoli. 1004/08/23

Pressure that the water molecules exert to
escape from surface of water is c/a
vapour pressure of water.
• It depends on temperature of water .
• At normal body temperature (37⁰C) vapour
pr. is 47mm Hg.

![Page 14: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
D = ∆P * A * S / d * √MW
since temperature remains almost constant in the body , it need not be considered.
Importance of humidification :
as the total pressure of gases in alveoli
cannot rise above 760 mm Hg , water vapour
dilutes all the inspired gases.

It is controlled by :
• Rate of O₂ absorption in blood.• Rate of entry of new O₂ into lungs by
ventilatory process.
NOTE : extremely marked increase in alveolar ventilation cannot increase Po₂ above 149mm Hg as long as person is breathing atmospheric air as this is the max. Po₂ in humidified air at this pressure.

Alveolar Pco₂ rises in direct proportion
to the rate of co₂ excretion.
Alveolar Pco₂ decreases inversely in
proportion to alveolar ventilation.

Alveolar gases are in close proximity
with the blood of capillaries so gas
exchange between alveolar air &
pulmonary blood occurs through
membranes of all terminal portions of
the lungs not only alveoli.
These membranes are collectively
known as respiratory membranes.

![Page 21: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Different layers of respiratory membranes :
• Capillary endothelium
• Capillary basement membrane
• Interstitial space
• Epithelial basement membrane
• Alveolar epithelium
• Surfactant layer

![Page 22: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Layers of respiratory membrane

Thickness of the membrane
increases occasionally due to edema
in the interstitium or some pulmonary
diseases may also cause fibrosis of
lungs leading to increased thickness
of some portions of the membrane.

![Page 24: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Surface area of the membranes can be greatly decreased in case of
removal of lung Also in case of emphysema , there is
dissolution & destruction of many alveolar walls.
Diffusion coefficient rate of diffusion is almost same as
that in water. Pressure difference between partial pr. of gas in alveoli &
pulmonary capillary blood.2404/08/23
![Page 25: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Defined as : volume of a gas that will diffuse through the membrane each minute for a pressure difference of 1 mm Hg .
Diffusing capacity for O₂• Under normal resting conditions it is
about 21ml/min./mmHg.• Mean O₂ pr. difference across
respiratory membrane is 11mm Hg.2504/08/23
![Page 26: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
11* 21 = 230 ml of O₂ diffuses through the respiratory membrane each
minute.Or this is the rate at which resting body
uses O₂. During strenuous exercise diffusing capacity of O₂ increases upto
a max. of 65 ml/min./mmHg , this happens due to :
opening up of number of previously dormant capillaries or extra dilatation of already open capillaries.

Usually we assume , all alveoli are equally ventilated &
equal blood is flowing through all alveolar capillaries.
But that’s not the case , practically in normal people to some
extent & also in many lung diseases if the
alveoli is well ventilated
adequate blood Is not flowing
through it or vice versa.
2804/08/23
![Page 29: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Or there may be normal ventilation &
blood flow but both are going to
different parts of the lung.
This concept is termed as ventilation-
perfusion ratio.

Po₂ & Pco₂ when Va / Q = 0
Po₂ & Pco₂ in alveoli = Po₂ & Pco₂ in venous
blood .
• As air in alveoli comes in equilibrium with
venous blood passing through the capillaries.
Po₂ = 40 mmHg Pco₂ = 45 mmHg
Po₂ & Pco₂ when Va / Q = ∞
Po₂ & Pco₂ in alveoli = that of inspired humidified
air.
Po₂ = 149 mmHg Pco₂ = 0 mmHg3104/08/23

When Va / Q < normal• Inadequate ventilation to completely
oxygenate the blood passing through the capillaries , some part of venous blood does not get oxygenated c/a shunted blood .
• Also some blood flows through bronchial vessels rather than capillaries (about 2% of the CO)is also shunted blood .
• Total amount of shunted blood / min. is c/a physiologic shunt.
3304/08/23
![Page 34: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
When Va / Q > normal
• Ventilation is more but the blood flow
through the capillaries is reduced , hence
ventilation in such alveoli is wasted .
• Also ventilation of anatomical dead space
areas of respiratory passages is wasted .
• Sum of these two wasted ventilations is
c/a physiologic dead space.
3404/08/23
![Page 35: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
Abnormal Va / Q in upper & lower lobes of
a normal lung.
• In normal upright posture , in upper lobes
Va > Q which causes moderate amount of
dead space.
• In lower lobes Va < Q , causing
physiologic shunt .
• During exercise , Q in upper lobes & Va in
lower lobes improves to get a better Va /
Q ratio. 3504/08/23

Va / Q in COPD
• For eg. Smokers , develop bronchial
obstruction followed by air trapping &
eventually emphysema leading to
destruction of alveolar walls.
• 2 abnormalities seen henceforth :
i. Va/Q = 0 in alveoli below obstructed
bronchioles.
ii. Areas of lung with destructed alveolar
walls most ventilation is wasted due to
inadequate blood flow. 3604/08/23

• Po₂ in alveoli = 104mm Hg
• Po₂ of blood entering pulmonary capillary
at arterial end = 40mm Hg
• O₂ diffuses from alveoli to pulmonary
capillaries.
• Po₂ of blood rises almost to that of alveoli
by the time blood has covered ⅓ of the
distance through capillary.3904/08/23
![Page 40: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)
During strenuous exercise :• Body requires 20 times the normal O₂• Duration that blood remains in capillaries
is reduced to half due to increase CO. So,
Diffusing capacity of O₂ increases to 3 times
normal due to :• Increased capillary surface area • Nearly ideal Va/Q in upper part of lungs
4004/08/23
![Page 41: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/41.jpg)
• Blood normally stays 3 times than
required in the capillaries .
4104/08/23
![Page 42: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/42.jpg)
98% of blood enters left atrium from
lungs ,
2% passes directly to the bronchial
circulation & is shunted past the gas
exchange area in lungs. Po₂ of this blood
is equal to that of venous blood
(40mmHg) & it supplies deeper tissues of
the lungs.4204/08/23
![Page 43: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/43.jpg)
This 2% blood combines with
oxygenated blood in pulmonary veins ,
c/a venous admixture which causes the
Po₂ of the blood pumped into the aorta
to fall to 95 mm Hg.
4304/08/23
![Page 44: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
NOTE : CO₂ can diffuse 20 times as
rapidly as O₂ hence pressure difference
required to cause CO₂ diffusion is far
less than that required for O₂.
• For eg. Intracellular Pco2 – 46mmHg
• Interstitial Pco2 – 45mmHg
Pressure differential is merely a 1 mmHg.
4404/08/23

Increased blood flow , decreased Pco₂
in tissues & vice versa.
Increased metabolic rate , increased
tissue Pco₂
Decreased metabolic rate , decreased
tissue Pco₂ .

• Normally 15gms Hb / 100ml blood is present.
• 1gm Hb can bind with 1.34ml of O2 so, 15 * 1.34 = 20.1• Hb in 100ml of blood can combine with
20ml of O2 exactly when the blood is fully saturated .
• This is expressed as 20 volumes percent.
04/08/23 51
![Page 52: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
In 97% saturated arterial blood 19.4ml
O2 is bound with Hb / 100ml of blood.
On passing through tissue capillaries it is
reduced to 14.4ml.
Thus , normally 5ml of O2 is transported
from lungs to tissues / 100ml of blood.
04/08/23 52
![Page 53: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
During heavy exercise , muscle cells use O₂
at a rapid rate causing interstitial tissue Po₂
to fall to 15mmHg , at this pressure only
4.4ml of O₂ is bound to Hb/ 100ml blood. So,
19.4-14.4 = 15ml of O2 is
actually delivered to tissues / 100ml blood
which is 3 times the normal.
04/08/23 53
![Page 54: Diffusion , Exchange & Transport of o2 & Co2](https://reader038.vdocuments.us/reader038/viewer/2022102922/54677511b4af9f8c4c8b476a/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
Also CO in trained athletes can
increase upto 6-7 times the normal ,
multiplying it with the 3 fold increase in
O₂ delivered gives a 20 fold increase in
O₂ transport to tissues .

Percentage of blood that gives up its O₂
while passing through tissue
capillaries.
• Its normal value is 25%

• For normal 5ml of O₂ to be released / 100ml
of blood , tissue Po₂ must fall to 40mmHg.
• If tissue Po₂ rises above this, Hb would not
be released at the tissues.
• Conversely , small fall in Po₂ causes extra
amount of O₂ to be released at the tissues
as during heavy exercise .

Normal DPG keeps the curve slightly to the right always.
Hypoxic conditions lasting for more than a few hours , DPG in blood increases shifting the curve more to the right
due to this O₂ is released to the tissues at a pressure 10mmHg higher than without increase in DPG.

Exercising muscle releases more CO₂.
Several acids produced by the muscle
increases the H⁺ concentration.
Temperature of the working muscle is
raised by 2-3⁰ C.
All these factors shift the curve towards the right during exercise.

Effect of intracellular Po₂
• Enzyme system of cells function well even
when the cellular Po₂ is > 1mmHg , so O₂ is
no longer a limiting factor.
• Main limiting factor is ADP conc.
• Under normal conditions , rate of O₂ usage
is controlled by rate of energy expenditure
within the cell.04/08/23 65

Effect of diffusion distance
• Greater diffusion distance cellular Po₂
may fall below 1mmHg
• In such conditions rate of O₂ usage
becomes diffusion limited & not
determined by ADP conc.

o At normal arterial Po2 (95mmHg) 0.29ml
of O2 is dissolved / 100ml blood.
o At Po2 < 40mmHg (in tissues) 0.12ml of
O2 remains dissolved / 100ml of blood.
therefore , 0.17ml of O2 is
transported in dissolved state.
o During strenuous exercise , dissolved O2
decreases to about 1.5%.04/08/23 68

Combination with Hb
• CO₂ reacts with amine radicals of Hb to
form carbaminohemoglobin – reversible
reaction , loose bond
CO₂ easily released at
alveoli.

Binding of O₂ with Hb tends to displace CO₂ from blood . This is because , combination of O₂ with Hb in lungs makes Hb more acidic so,
i. Acidic Hb has less tendency to combine with CO₂ & displaces CO₂ present in carbamino form from blood.
ii. Due to increased acidity of Hb , increased release of H⁺ , increased binding with HCO⁻₃ to form carbonic acid which dissociates into
CO₂ + H₂O & CO₂ released to alveoli.04/08/23 76
