Question
Answer
show Flux = diffusion constant x area x conc difference/thickness Henry's law states the conc = a x pressure Flux = d x a x area/thickness x pressure difference D = d x a x area/thickness Flux = D x pressure difference D is 250 ml/min/kPa for O2  
🗑
show Blood comes into equilibrium with alveolar gas Doubling diffusion capacity wont alter amount of gas exchanged Doubling blood flow will double amount of gas exchanges  
🗑
show Partial pressure gradient remains essentially constant along capillary Doubling blood flow wont change the amount of gas exchanged Doubling diffusion capacity will double exchange  
🗑
show Diffusing capacity - larger = more likely to equilibrate Speed of chemical reaction with blood Solubility in blood B - larger D, larger B and less likely to get equilibrium as need to move more Blood flow - faster flow less time to equilibrate  
🗑
Inert gases   show
🗑
CO2 and O2   show
🗑
show Solubility in membrane greater than in blood Diffusion limited Can be used to measure diffusing capacity of lung as this affects rate of exchange Measure gas uptake, conc in alveoli and venous blood  
🗑
Speed of chemical reaction   show
🗑


   

Review the information in the table. When you are ready to quiz yourself you can hide individual columns or the entire table. Then you can click on the empty cells to reveal the answer. Try to recall what will be displayed before clicking the empty cell.
 
To hide a column, click on the column name.
 
To hide the entire table, click on the "Hide All" button.
 
You may also shuffle the rows of the table by clicking on the "Shuffle" button.
 
Or sort by any of the columns using the down arrow next to any column heading.
If you know all the data on any row, you can temporarily remove it by tapping the trash can to the right of the row.
