Question

Describe the process of gaseous exchange between alveoli of lungs and blood in respect of partial pressure of respiratory gases.


This is the second time Im asking this question..

Answer 1

Answer:

Henry's law states that the amount of a specific gas that dissolves in a liquid is a function of its partial pressure. The partial pressure of oxygen is high in the alveoli and low in the blood of the pulmonary capillaries. As a result, oxygen diffuses across the respiratory membrane from the alveoli into the blood.
