The main application of Henry's law in respiratory physiology is to predict how gasses will dissolve in the alveoli and bloodstream during gas exchange. The amount of oxygen that dissolves into the bloodstream is directly proportional to the partial pressure of oxygen in alveolar air

Application of Henry's law in the function of lungs :
When air enters the lungs, partial pressure of oxygen is high. This oxygen combines with haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin. Partial pressure of O2 in tissues is low. Hence, O2 is released with oxyhaemoglobin which is utilised for functions of the cells.
