VO2 = D * A * (PcO2 - PtO2) L2 Volume rate transfer(oxygen) Oxygen Transport • Lung 0.5-1.0 microns • Skeletal Muscle 80 microns • Brain 40 microns distance (L) can usually be decreased by recruitment • Myocardium 12 microns (approximately one capillary per muscle cell)
At The Lung: • 70-80% of alveolar surface is covered by a single cell layer of red blood cells • Maximal capacity is ~200 ml blood • Normal blood volume in the capillaries is ~70 ml • Alveolar-hemoglobin distance is 0.5 to 1.0 µm • Capillaries cover several contiguous alveoli • capillaries travel ~600-800 µm before joining a venule • In a normal resting individual, it takes ~750 msec for an RBC to traverse a gas exchange section

Oxygen uptake by blood (at the lung) is normally considered perfusion-limited • The amount of oxygen taken up by blood at the lungs is normally limited only by the rate of blood flow • Oxygen uptake by tissue (from blood) is normally considered diffusion-limited • The amount of oxygen taken up by tissue from the blood is normallly limited by diffusion characteristics (partial pressure gradient, distance)

Hypoxia: Inadequate tissue oxygenation • At the lung: hypoxic hypoxia • At the blood: • Anemia (reduced # RBCs or Hb) • Carbon monoxide: left-shifted O2-Hb curve and decreased carrying capacity • Hypoxemia due to hemoglobin mutation (thalassemia) • Perfusion-related (stagnant hypoxia) • Tissue level • Metabolic disorders • Poisons • Cyanide: inhibits oxidative phosphorylation • Dinitrophenol: uncouples oxidative phosphorylation • Carbon monoxide (cytochrome binding): prevents electron transfer to oxygen
