By exchanging gases, the lungs form one critical part of the O 2 /CO 2 transport pathway (fig. 1), the rest of which involves the entire cardiovascular system (heart, vasculature and blood) as well as the body tissues.

Two important aspects of gas exchange in the lung are ventilation and perfusion. Ventilation is the movement of air into and out of the lungs, and perfusion is the flow of blood in the pulmonary capillaries.
23 Ιαν 2023 · Gas exchange occurs in the lungs between alveolar air and the blood of the pulmonary capillaries. For effective gas exchange to occur, alveoli must be ventilated and perfused. Ventilation (V) refers to the flow of air into and out of the alveoli, while perfusion (Q) refers to the flow of blood to alveolar capillaries.
10 Απρ 2022 · Gas exchange is the process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide move between the bloodstream and the lungs. This is the primary function of the respiratory system. It is essential to ensure a constant supply of oxygen to tissues, as well as removing carbon dioxide to prevent its accumulation.
17 Μαρ 2022 · The function of the respiratory system is to remove carbon dioxide from, and add oxygen to, venous blood flowing through the pulmonary circulation. The system accomplishes this by two interrelated processes: gas exchange and ventilation. We will discuss these two concepts in detail.
9 Δεκ 2020 · This overview presents the recent progress in our understanding of gas transfer by the lungs during the respiratory cycle and during breath holding. Different phenomena intervene in gas transfer, convection and diffusion in the gas, dissolution, diffusion across the alveolar-capillary membrane, diffusion across blood plasma, and finally ...
Calculations of alveolar-arterial oxygen tension difference, venous admixture and wasted ventilation provide quantitative estimates of the effect of V'A/Q' mismatch on gas exchange. The types of V'A/Q' mismatch causing impaired gas exchange vary characteristically with different lung diseases.
