MW : molecular weight
1 ) . Gas partial pressure difference: gas partial
pressure difference is larger—diffuses faster
2 ) . Gas molecular weight and solubility:
when solubility is high, it diffuses fast
when molecular weight is large, it diffuses
slowly.

3 ) . Diffusion area of alveolar membrane :
when diffusion area of alveolar membrane
is large, it diffuses fast.
1) diffusion area of alveolar membrane
is 40m2 in normal quiet state.
2) diffusion area of alveolar membrane
is 70m2 during sports.
diffusion area of alveolar membrane
decreases in disease.

二 . oxygen transportation
98.5 % binding to Hb
oxygen transportation
Hemoglobin+Oxygen Oxyhemoglobin
PO2
Hb + O2 HbO2
Each hemoglobin molecule contains 4 iron
molecules that can each bind an O2
molecule. Therefore each hemoglobin
molecule is capable of carrying 4 O2
molecules.
Hb + 4O2 HbO8
Hemoglobin loads/unloads one O2
molecule at a time so Hb can exist as Hb
(deoxyhemoglobin), HbO2, HbO4, HbO6
or HbO8 (fully saturated
oxyhemoglobin).
1. Maximum capacity of hemoglobin binding
with O2 in every 100ml blood is called
oxygen capacity.
When normal Hb is in 15g/100ml blood ,
1g Hb binds with 1.34ml O2.
Oxygen capacity= 15×1.34 = 20ml
2. The volume of hemoglobin binding
with oxygen is called oxygen content.
arterial blood: 20ml O2
venous blood: 15ml O2
3. The percentage of oxygen content to
oxygen capacity is called oxygen
saturation.
1). In arterial blood, oxygen content equals
20ml and oxygen saturation is 100%.
2). In venous blood , oxygen content equals
15ml and oxygen saturation is 75%.
(一) Reversible binding of Hb and O2
T R
( tension )
( relaxation )
The affinity of T form to O2 is smaller.
The affinity of R form to O2 is larger.
(二) oxygen dissociation
curve
1.The binding of oxygen
to hemoglobin is
dependent on the partial
pressure of oxygen.
2.S-shaped (sigmoidal)
curve that shows the
partial pressures of
oxygen (PO2 ) in relation
to the % saturation of
Hb.
The curve reacts the relationship of PO2
and saturation of oxygenation Hb
character
1. Superior segment of curve:
PO2 60 - 100mmHg . Slope is flat.
1 ) Partial pressure of oxygen changes greatly.
But saturation changes little—even PO2
of environment or alveoli descents,
oxygenation saturation will maintain
high level.
2 ) When PO2 > 100mmHg , rising
of oxygenation saturation is not obvious .
Rising of blood oxygen volume is little.
2. Middle segment of curve PO2 60
- 40mmHg is the part that HbO2
releases O2.
At this time Hb oxygen saturation is
75%, oxygen content in blood is 14.4mL % .
In the other words, every 100ml blood
releases 5mlO2 when it flows over tissues.
3. Inferior segment of
curve .
PO2 20 - 40mmHg .
The slope is steep.
PO2 descents a little. It
makes oxygen
dissociation saturation
descent. This is benefit to
supplying oxygen for
tissue activity.
(三) factors effect oxygen dissociation
Usually we use P50 as the affinity of Hb and O2.
At 50 % saturation (indicated on the curve by p50 ),
half of the Hb binding sites contain oxygen molecules.
Normal P50 : PO2 26.5mmHg.
when P50 rises :
affinity descents and
curve moves to right.
when P50 descents :
affinity rises and
curve moves to left.
factors effect oxygen dissociation curve
1. Effect of Pco2 or H+
Bohr effect
pH descents and PCO2 rises—
Molecular configuration of Hb changes to T form. Curve
move to right. P50 increases. Oxygen saturation descents
and dissociation increases.
