Movement of carbon dioxide and oxygen between the alveolar air and the blood and between the blood and peripheral tissue depends upon concentration gradients for these gases. As can be seen in this figure, the gradients favor the movement of oxygen from alveolar air to the tissue and movement of carbon dioxide from the tissue to alveolar air.

• Oxygen is carried in two forms: dissolved (1.5%) and bound to hemoglobin (98.5%).
• Dissolved oxygen is inadequate to meet the body’s needs.• Hemoglobin greatly increases the blood’s oxygen-carrying
capacity. • Three terms describe the amount of oxygen in the blood:
capacity, saturation, content.• Oxygen binding to hemoglobin is influenced by pH, carbon
dioxide, 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG), and temperature.
• Carbon monoxide decreases the blood’s oxygen content and capacity.

Structure of Hemoglobin Structure of Hemoglobin Hemoglobin (Hb) enables the blood to carry large quantities of oxygen. Hb consists of a heme, an iron-prophyrin, bound to a globin molecule, a large polypeptide chain. Four heme-globin complexes combine to form the whole Hb molecule. There are 4 different globin molecules that vary slightly in amino acid composition and are designated alpha, beta, gamma, and delta chains. The most common form is Hb A, which consists of 2 alpha and 2 beta chains. Oxygen binds to the iron atoms in Hb and because the molecule contains 4 iron atoms, 4 oxygen molecules can be bound.
Fe2+
Reaction: fast, reversible, no enzyme catalysis, influenced by PO2. After Fe ion combined with O2, Fe ion is still Fe2+, so it is oxygenation
rather than oxidization; Absorbing ability different made by response of different Hb to
various spectrum. Ability of HbO2 absorbing shortwave spectrum (e.g. blue light)
is stronger; Ability of HHb absorbing long wave spectrum (e.g. red light) is
stronger; Blood color is related to Hb content, quality,
arterial blood: bright red; venous blood: prunosus Cyanosis: when reduced Hb (HHb) in the body surface
capillary bed blood is more than 5 g /100 ml, skin and mucosa display violaceous color.

Three terms are used to describe the Three terms are used to describe the amount of oxygen in the blood amount of oxygen in the blood
• Oxygen contentOxygen content refers to the total amount of oxygen in the refers to the total amount of oxygen in the blood, that is, the sum of the amount dissolved plus the amount blood, that is, the sum of the amount dissolved plus the amount bound to hemoglobin (Hb).bound to hemoglobin (Hb).
• Oxygen capacityOxygen capacity is the maximum amount of oxygen that can is the maximum amount of oxygen that can combine with Hb. It is determined by exposing blood to a very combine with Hb. It is determined by exposing blood to a very high Pohigh Po22 and calculating the amount bound to Hb after and calculating the amount bound to Hb after subtracting the amount dissolved. The oxygen capacity is subtracting the amount dissolved. The oxygen capacity is determined by the amount of Hb in the blood and by the ability determined by the amount of Hb in the blood and by the ability of Hb to bind oxygen.of Hb to bind oxygen.
• Oxygen saturationOxygen saturation ** is the proportion of the total number of is the proportion of the total number of oxygen binding sites that are occupied. It is determined by the oxygen binding sites that are occupied. It is determined by the PoPo22 and the ability of Hb to bind oxygen, but not by the amount and the ability of Hb to bind oxygen, but not by the amount of Hb present in the blood. of Hb present in the blood.

Oxygen is present in the blood in a dissolved form and is bound to Hb. The partial pressure of oxygen determines how much is in each form. Much more oxygen is bound to Hb at any partial pressure than is dissolved.

Notice that at normal arterial Po2 (100 mm Hg), Hb is over 95% saturated and that even at normal venous Po2 (40 mm Hg) it is still 75% saturated. Because of Hb, 100 mL of blood contain approximately 19 mL of O2 at arterial Po2 and about 14 mL at venous Po2 . This means that 5 mL of O2 were delivered to the tissue by 100 mL of blood because of Hb, more than 10 times the amount present in the dissolved form (0.3 mL).

Carbon monoxide decreases the Carbon monoxide decreases the blood’s oxygen content and capacityblood’s oxygen content and capacity
Inhalation of carbon monoxide (CO) has several effects on oxygen transport by the blood. The affinity of CO for Hb is 240 times that for oxygen, so very small amounts of CO will occupy a large number of the oxygen binding sites. This effectively reduces the oxygen capacity of Hb. Because of this, Hb becomes saturated with oxygen at very low Po2 values, values that are less than those in venous blood. This means that little if any oxygen will be released for tissue use. The net effect is that at normal alveolar Po2 oxygen content and capacity of blood is greatly reduced even though Hb is saturated and the amount of dissolved oxygen is normal.

Haldane effect : O2 combining with Hb induces CO2 release, and HHb easily combines with CO2.
Just as CO2 alters O2 binding to Hb (Bohr effect), O2
alters CO2 binding (Haldane effect). As the Po2 increases, less CO2 can bind to Hb. This interrelationship between O2 and CO2 binding to Hb facilitates gas exchange with Hb both in the lungs and in the tissue. In the lungs, Po2 is high, which reduces CO2 binding to Hb, facilitating release into alveolar air. In the tissue Po2 is low, which increases CO2 binding to Hb, facilitating its removal from the tissue. As described in the previous section (Oxygen Transport in the blood) changes in Pco2 facilitate oxygen binding to Hb in an appropriate manner in tissue and lung.

IV. Respiratory Regulation1. Respiratory centers and formation of respiratory rhythm
Control of breathing rhythmControl of breathing rhythm• Medulla and pons (bridge) form the integration center and
contain neural elements that define the basic breathing rhythm (Using transecting method).
• In medulla, ventral respiratory group and the dorsal respiratory group that are responsible for establishing this rhythm.
• The basic rhythm is modulated by higher brain centers and by receptors located in the chest wall and lungs.
• Primary efferent output (depth and frequency of respiration ) is via the phrenic nerve to the diaphragm.
• Motor nerves that exit the spinal cord at several levels in the thorax innervate intercostal muscles. These muscles are activated when large volumes of air must be moved.
• Reflex of cough and sneeze is useful for defence in respiratory system.

VentilationVentilation↑↑
The relative levels of pH, Po2 , and Pco2 influence the sensitivity of peripheral chemoreceptors to pH, Po2, or Pco2. When the Po2 or pH is low, the carotid body sensitivity to Pco2 is increased. Similarly, the carotid body sensitivity to oxygen is increased if the Pco2 is elevated. However, under some circumstances these interactions can be antagonistic. At high altitude Po2 falls because of the fall in atmospheric pressure. This stimulates ventilation but also reduces arterial Pco2 as carbon dioxide is blown off. The fall in Pco2 reduces the primary drive for ventilation and the sensitivity of the carotid body chemoreceptors to arterial oxygen. This leads to a further fall in arterial Po2 , enhancing oxygen’s stimulatory effect on ventilation. Ultimately, a steady state is reached between the stimulatory response to hypoxia (low oxygen) and the inhibitory effect of hypocapnia (low CO2).

• Because the COBecause the CO22-bicarbonate buffer system -bicarbonate buffer system plays a significant role in regulating pH, the plays a significant role in regulating pH, the lungs can alter arterial pH by changing arterial lungs can alter arterial pH by changing arterial PcoPco22..

• Ventilation is decreased in response to Ventilation is decreased in response to metabolic alkalemia.metabolic alkalemia.
• The CO2-bicarbonate buffer system is the major way in which the body maintains arterial pH because the lungs regulate the CO2 level of the blood and the kidneys regulate the amount of bicarbonate (chapter4).
• CO2undergoes the following reaction in blood: CO2 + H2O H2CO3 H + + HCO3
- pH=6.1+log ( [HCO3
- ] / Pco2) {deriving from the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation}
• Normal blood values can be substituted for the various parameters. To convert the units of mm Hg for Pco2 to mEq/L, Pco2 is multiplied by 0.03.
7.4=6.1+log [24mEq/L/(0.03×40 mm Hg)]=6.1+log 20/1 This relationship shows that as long as the ratio of bicarbonate
to CO2 is 20:1,pH will be 7.4. The body adjusts the amounts of these two substances in order to maintain a normal pH. The lungs regulate the amount of CO2.
Role of the lungs in regulation Role of the lungs in regulation of acid-base balanceof acid-base balance
• Arterial H+ concentration can change for a variety of reasons. If the cause does not involve the lungs, it is said to be of metabolic origin. It is called metabolic acidosis if the pH decreases and metabolic alkalosis if the pH increases. If the lungs are the cause of the acid-base disturbance, the processes are called respiratory acidosis and respiratory alkalosis.
• An elevation in arterial H+ concentration and Pco2 will stimulate ventilation. The increase in ventilation will lower the Pco2 driving (reaction 1) further to the left helping to lower the H+ concentration. In addition, the kidneys will generate bicarbonate and secrete H+.
• An decrease in arterial H+ concentration and Pco2 will reduce ventilation allowing Pco2 to accumulate. This will generate additional H+ and help to return the pH to normal.
