Gas Exchange at a Cellular Level By Holly2 and Aaron
O2 and CO2 in Blood • Oxygen is carried by hemoglobin. • Dissolved in the plasma.
Respiration • Process of delivering O2 to cells and carrying away CO2. • Includes: • gas exchange in lungs • circulation of gases through bloodstream • transfer of gases at cellularlevel http://www.biology.arizona.edu/chh/problem_sets/lung_toxicology/graphics/gas_exchange.gif

Respiration Process • air goes into lung sacs • O2 from the air enters the blood • CO2 exits from the blood into the air • blood reaches the tissues • O2 diffuses into cells • CO2 enters the blood • blood circulates back to the lungs http://catalog.nucleusinc.com/imagescooked/2672W.jpg

Path of O2 and CO2 • Partial Pressure is exerted by a certain gas among a mixture of other gasses. • Partial pressure is a measure of how much of that gas is present in a mixture. • Gas diffuses in the direction with the least the partial pressure. • Simple Diffusion - Oxygen diffuses through the membrane and plasma, and is taken up by the RBC (Red Blood Cells.) http://kentsimmons.uwinnipeg.ca/cm1504/Image132.gif

Hindrances to gas exchange • When a blood vessel is damaged a clot forms. • Clotting can prevent gas exchange. • A lack of hemoglobin can hinder cellular respiration. • Hemophilia is caused by a lack of hemoglobin http://media-2.web.britannica.com/eb-media/28/98328-004-5514AFAC.jpg
