Oxygen transport

 Oxygen transport

-o2 is loaded in blood at lungs

-unloading of o2 at tissues


Lung level:-

Po2 inside alveoli -104 mmhg 

Po2 inside alveoli inthe capilliary is 40mmhg


Tissue level:-

Po2 inside capillaries- 95mmhg

Po2 inside the cell- 40 mmhg

O2 content in arterial blood -  19.4 ml/dl

O2 content in venous blood - 14.4 ml /dl

Therefore coefficient of o2 utilisation = ao2-vo2/a02*100=25%


Method of transportation of o2:-

Physical solution-dissolved in plasma

3% of o2 

Significance needed during rigorous exercise


ii)oxyheamoglobin:-major form of transport account for 97% o2 transport 

-o2 carrying capacity -1gmhb - 1.34 ml of o2 

1.34*15=20 ml


Oxygenation with Hb is reversible process 

4 o2 molecule attach to 4 ferrous atoms in the heme part of Hb

-attachment is stepwise  doesnot occur simultaneously


Oxygen dissociation curve:-

This the curve showing relationship between p02  and saturation of Hb with 02

###





Feature :-

Sigmoid shape heam -heam interaction

Steep phase -dissociation of o2 from oxyHb

Plate phase association of o2 with Hb


At higher altitude ,60 mmhg =po2

-No hypoxia because 93% of saturation of Hb with o2 occurs

-Po2 increases above 120mmhg and saturation ramains 97%

-Arterial venous shunt(baseline vein drain into left ventricle)

 -uneven ventilation more in apex /perfusion les in apex in lung therefore 97%


-p50 level po2 at which Hb is 50%of saturated ith o2 occurs

-in normal condition 96mmHg

-p50 level goes down in he case of foetal Hb 

Due to 2 alpha and 2 gamma has affinity for o2 move 

-po2 at 40 mmhg is the physiological condition 

-po2 at 20 mmhg  during rigourous excercise rapid dissociatio of o2  for o2 hb occurs


Factors affecting OD curve :-

Factors shifting OD  curve right:-

CO2 increases

ii)H+ ions /ph decreases

iii) bodytemprature

iv)2,3 diphosphoglycerate

#bhors effect -its the condition which shift the OD  curve to right

-it is the influence of co2 on release of o2 dissociation of o2 as co2 concentration increases following reaction occurs-

Co2+h2o----h2co3-hco3+h+

oxyHb --hb +O2 --HHb


Factors affecting  OD Curve left:-

Co2 decreases

ii)ph increases

iii)temperature decreases

iv)2,3DPG decreases

v)fetal Hb because it has 2 alpha and 2 gamma chain ,more affinity for 02 building 

vi)oxymyoglobin-its more in fast running animals -like cheetah,deer less in humans

Therefore myoglobin can dissociate 02 only when p 02 falls between 5mmHg


Respiratory changes during exercise:-

Exercise :-purposeful increases physical activity to improve the physical fitness of the  individual 


Types:-

1)MILD EXCERCISE -NO CHANGE IN CADIO RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

2)moderate exercise  -fast walking  , cardio respiratory change occurs

3)rigorous exercise -eg:-swimming cardio respiratory changes.



Respiratory changes during moderate and rigorous exercise



Normal value

Attainable value during exercise

Respiratory rate

12-16 br/min

30-40 time /min

Tidal volume

500 ml

1500-2000ml

Pulmonary ventilation

6liters/min

100-120liter/min

Coefficient of o2 utilisation

25%

75%

Respiratory quotient

Co2 released /o2 consumed


52%-48%/19.4-14.4=4/5

Increases upto 15/5=3


O2 debt:-it is the extra amount of o2 required during the recovery period after exercise

For the following process it is required because 

  • o2 is required for the following reversal process

-the high energy bonds ATP and CP (CREATININE PHOSPHATE)during exercise has convent in to its reduced  form therefore resynthesize of ATP and CP requires more o2

-the oxy -myoglobin are reduces toHHb andH myoglobin restoration of of oxy Hb and oxy myoglobin requires more o2
