Diffusion of Gases

Quiz yourself by thinking what should be in each of the black spaces below before clicking on it to display the answer.
        Help!  

Question
Answer
show Exchange of gases at the capillary level, primarily O2 & CO2.  
🗑
External Respiration   show
🗑
show Occurs in the systemis system, between the Blood & Tissues.  
🗑
Diffusion   show
🗑
Boyle's Law   show
🗑
show V1/T1=V2/T2 - Pressure is constant & volume changes directly with temperature.  
🗑
Gay-Lussac's Law   show
🗑
Combined Gas Law   show
🗑
show In a mixture of gases, the total pressure is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of each separate gas.  
🗑
show Decrease in barometric pressure, in gas density and the partial pressure of the gases. BUT fractional concentrations of gases do NOT change.  
🗑
show Must be subtracted from total pressure before calculations are made.  
🗑
Ideal Alveolar Gas Equation   show
🗑
show Partial pressure of O2 in the alveoli = (barometric pressure - partial pressure of H2O (47mmHg)) fractional concentration of inspired O2 - partial pressure of arterial CO2 (1.25)  
🗑
Alveolar capillary membrane   show
🗑
show 1/25,000 of an inch  
🗑
show PvO2 = 40 TORR PAO2 = 100 TORR Pressure gradient = 60 TORR  
🗑
show PVCO2 = 46 TORR PACO2 = 40 TORR Pressure gradient = 6 TORR  
🗑
show Diffuse until gas pressure in the alveoli and pulmonary capillaries are in equilibrium. Normally occurs in 0.25 sec & transit time for blood in pulmonary capillary system is 0.75 sec.  
🗑
Diseased Lungs   show
🗑
Flick's Law   show
🗑
show gas flow = (pp 1 - pp 2)(area)(diffusion constant)/thickness  
🗑
show The amount of gas that dissolves in a liquid at a given temperature is proportional to the partial pressure of the gas.  
🗑
show the more gas will dissolve  
🗑
show less gas will dissolve  
🗑
show The amount of gas that can be dissolved in 1mL of a liquid at 760 TORR and a specified temperature. Each gas has its OWN!  
🗑
At 37 degress & 760 TORR   show
🗑
For every 10% > in O2 above room air =   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.
