Document Summary

Pco2 gradient between the lungs and the blood. If you exercise more, the amount of cellular respiration will increase, and the. Rate in: amount of cellular respiration (metabolic rate), pco2 in blood. Mechanics of ventilation: write an explanation of how air. Atmospheric pressure gradient; bulk flow (partial pressure gradient is involved in gas exchange) Inhalation (atmospheric pressure on the outside must be greater than the atmospheric pressure on the inside) Contract diaphragm (goes down; shortens; dome shape comes down) -> increase volume of the thoracic cavity (lungs expand) -> atmospheric pressure on the inside drops by 5 mm hg (755 mm hg) -> air will move into lungs down atmospheric pressure gradient until equilibrium is reached. -> decrease the volume of the thoracic cavity. -> atmospheric pressure increases in the lungs (765 mm hg) -> air will move out down atmospheric pressure gradient until equilibrium is reached. Rate of air flow in the lungs = atmospheric pressure gradient (driving force)/resistance.
