Step 1
Transpulmonary pressure is the pressure difference between the alveoli and intrapleural space. This is because the alveoli are the tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs, and the intrapleural space is the space between the lungs and the chest wall. Show more…

Apply the principles of gas pressure and diffusion in an explanation of the movement processes of oxygen and carbon dioxide at the cell level under normal conditions, considering the: a. partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the arterial end of the capillary b. partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in intracellular fluid before exchange c. direction of movement of gases between the cell and the blood d. partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide at the venous end of the systemic capillary at completion of the process

Two processes that are responsible for the movement of oxygen from the alveoli into the bloodstream are diffusion and facilitated diffusion. osmosis and diffusion. osmosis and facilitated diffusion. diffusion and active transport. Question 33 (1 point) The two main requirements for external respiration are a large surface area for gas exchange; a moist environment to dissolve oxygen and carbon dioxide. large surface area for gas exchange; a dry environment to dissolve oxygen and carbon dioxide. small surface area for gas exchange; a moist environment to dissolve oxygen and carbon dioxide. small surface area for gas exchange; a dry environment to dissolve oxygen and carbon dioxide.
