Transport of gases

Mechanism of gas transport Primary function is to obtain oxygen for use by body's cells & eliminate carbon dioxide that cells produce. Includes respiratory airways leading into (& out of) lungs plus the lungs themselves Pathway of air: nasal cavities (or oral cavity) > pharynx > trachea > primary bronchi (right & left) > secondary bronchi > tertiary bronchi > bronchioles > alveoli (site of gas exchange) The exchange of gases (O2 & CO2) between the alveoli & the blood occurs by simple diffusion: O2 diffusing from the alveoli into the blood & CO2 from the blood into the alveoli. Diffusion requires a concentration gradient. So, the concentration (or pressure) of O2 in the alveoli must be kept at a higher level than in the blood & the concentration (or pressure) of CO2 in the alveoli must be kept at a lower lever than in the blood. We do this, of course, by breathing - continuously bringing fresh air (with lots of O2 & little CO2) into the lungs & the alveoli.

Role of Pulmonary Surfactant Surfactant decreases surface tension which: 1)increases pulmonary compliance (reducing the effort needed to expand the lungs) 2)reduces tendency for alveoli to collapse

Exchange of gases Exchange of O2 & CO2 between external environment & the cells of the body efficient because alveoli and capillaries have very thin walls & are very abundant (your lungs have about 300 million alveoli with a total surface area of about 75 square meters) Internal respiration - intracellular use of O2 to make ATP and occurs by simple diffusion along partial pressure gradients

Role of the partial pressure of gases it's the individual pressure exerted independently by a particular gas within a mixture of gasses. The air we breath is a mixture of gasses: primarily nitrogen, oxygen, & carbon dioxide. So, the air you blow into a balloon creates pressure that causes the balloon to expand (& this pressure is generated as all the molecules of nitrogen, oxygen, & carbon dioxide move about & collide with the walls of the balloon). However, the total pressure generated by the air is due in part to nitrogen, in part to oxygen, & in part to carbon dioxide. That part of the total pressure generated by oxygen is the 'partial pressure' of oxygen, while that generated by carbon dioxide is the 'partial pressure' of carbon dioxide. A gas's partial pressure, therefore, is a measure of how much of that gas is present (e.g., in the blood or alveoli). The partial pressure exerted by each gas in a mixture equals the total pressure times the fractional composition of the gas in the mixture. So, given that total atmospheric pressure (at sea level) is about 760 mm Hg and, further, that air is about 21% oxygen, then the partial pressure of oxygen in the air is 0.21 times 760 mm Hg or 160 mm Hg.

Level of the partial pressure of main gasesin the human body Partial Pressures of O2 and CO2 in the body (normal, resting conditions): Alveoli PO2 = 100 mm Hg PCO2 = 40 mm Hg Alveolar capillaries Entering the alveolar capillaries PO2 = 40 mm Hg (relatively low because this blood has just returned from the systemic circulation & has lost much of its oxygen) PCO2 = 45 mm Hg (relatively high because the blood returning from the systemic circulation has picked up carbon dioxide)

While in the alveolar capillaries, the diffusion of gasses occurs: oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood & carbon dioxide from the blood into the alveoli. Leaving the alveolar capillaries PO2 = 100 mm Hg PCO2 = 40 mm Hg Blood leaving the alveolar capillaries returns to the left atrium & is pumped by the left ventricle into the systemic circulation. This blood travels through arteries & arterioles and into the systemic, or body, capillaries. As blood travels through arteries & arterioles, no gas exchange occurs. Entering the systemic capillaries PO2 = 100 mm Hg PCO2 = 40 mm Hg Body cells (resting conditions) PO2 = 40 mm Hg PCO2 = 45 mm Hg

Changes in the Partial Pressures of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide

Because of the differences in partial pressures of oxygen & carbon dioxide in the systemic capillaries & the body cells, oxygen diffuses from the blood & into the cells, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the cells into the blood. Leaving the systemic capillaries PO2 = 40 mm Hg PCO2 = 45 mm Hg Blood leaving the systemic capillaries returns to the heart (right atrium) via venules & veins (and no gas exchange occurs while blood is in venules & veins). This blood is then pumped to the lungs (and the alveolar capillaries) by the right ventricle.

The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve The oxygen-hemoglobin dissociation curve 'shifts' under certain conditions. These factors can cause such a shift: 1)lower pH 2)increased temperature 3)more 2,3-diphosphoglycerate 4)increased levels of CO2

Oxygen- Hemoglo bin Dissociati on Curve at Rest

These factors change when tissues become more active. For example, when a skeletal muscle starts contracting, the cells in that muscle use more oxygen, make more ATP, & produce more waste products (CO2). Making more ATP means releasing more heat; so the temperature in active tissues increases. More CO2 translates into a lower pH. That is so because this reaction occurs when CO2 is released: CO2 + H > H2CO > HCO3- + H+ & more hydrogen ions = a lower (more acidic) pH. So, in active tissues, there are higher levels of CO2, a lower pH, and higher temperatures.

At lower PO2 levels, red blood cells increase production of a substance called 2,3-diphosphoglycerate. These changing conditions (more CO2, lower pH, higher temperature, & more 2,3-diphosphoglycerate) in active tissues cause an alteration in the structure of hemoglobin, which, in turn, causes hemoglobin to give up its oxygen. In other words, in active tissues, more hemoglobin molecules give up their oxygen.
