carbondioxide (Co2) transport

Co2 transport:-

Co2 metabolic waste from tissue to lung its travel

Pco2 in tissue level -collected inside the tissue  level-46mmhg

Inside the capillaries -lesser ie,46mmhg

Inside the alveoli 40mmhg

 Co2 content in venous blood volume  contains 52%

Co2 content in arterial blood contain 48%


Method of c02:-

1)physiological solution:-in plasma 7%of total co2 due to absence of carbonic anhydrase in plasma

2) with protein-forms carbamino compound

2 protein- -hb ,plasma protein

-hb/plasma protein +co2 carbonic acid

23%of co2 is transported

3)as bicarbonates-70% of co2is transported occurs at  lung level


Chloride shift:-###


The co2 inside the RBC forms h2co3 carbonic anhydrase

-the carbonic acid dissociate into H+ and bicarbonate ions

The excess of bicarbonate ions shift to the plasma

-to maintain the electrolyte balance chloride ions from plasma shif into the RBC known as chloride shift.


Lung level:-

Haldines effect-

Reversal of process occurs ,Hb dissociation into  H+and Hb

NAHCO3 DISSOCIATE IN NA and hco3- 

###

Greater the concentration 0f 02 more will be tthe dissociation of CO2


Compliance:-

It is the stretchability of lung tissue 

-it is one of the lung function test

compliance=delta vol/delta pressure =200ml/1cm of h20




Compliance at rest it is straight line and during inspiraton and expirationit doesnt overlap

-it shows hysteries loop.


Factors affecting:-

1)surfactant -reduced causes respiratory distress and compliance is reduced

2)muscle power of respiratory muscles weak -compliance is reduced

Eg:poliomyleities

3)fibrosis of alveoi-compliance is reduces

Eg:-emphysem,tuberculosis
