Question

Brief idea of gaseous transport and tissue respiration!!!


Please explain​

Answer 1

Once the respiratory gases have diffused in the lungs, resulting in the blood becoming O2 rich and CO2 being exhaled, the next stage of transporting the O2 rich blood to the tissues that need it takes place.

At the same time the next batch of CO2 rich blood must be brought to the lungs for the process to take place again.

The transportation of gases throughout the body takes place in the bloodstream through the action of the cardiovascular system (heart and blood vessels), as can be seen in the adjacent image.

Oxygenated blood leaving the lungs flows back to the heart via the pulmonary veins and is then pumped to the rest of the body from the left ventricle via the aorta and its branches .

The amount of haemoglobin (Hb) in the blood determines its oxygen carrying capacity.

Increases in CO2, H+ ions or temperature will also decrease the ability of O2 to bind to Hb.

This in turn leads to a decrease in performance as less O2 means less production of energy through aerobic metabolism.

As the oxygen rich blood reaches the capillaries gas exchange occurs, oxygen is delivered to the tissues and de-oxygenated blood (loaded with CO2) leaves the tissues of the body and flows back to the heart where it is pumped to the lungs via the pulmonary arteries.

Once CO2 is transported to the lungs it diffuses out of the capillaries into the alveoli and exhaled out of the lungs.
