Lung compliance is a physical property of
the lung that tells how much pressure
change is required to produce a given
change is volume.

CO2 expired – CO2 inspired = CO2 production by body (in steady-state)
O2 inspired – O2 expired = O2 consumption by body

WHAT DETERMINES ALVEOLAR GAS COMPOSITION?
Important relationship:
In symbols:
. .
VCO2 = VA x FACO2
or
. .
PACO2 VCO2/ VA
. . .
In words, this says that alveolar gas composition is determined
by two variables: Metabolic rate and alveolar ventilation.

Oxygen is carried in two forms in the blood:
CO2 CO2diss
CO2 + Hb-NH2 Hb-NH-COO- + H+
carbonic anhydrase
CO2 reactions in the tissues
Important points:
CO2 reactions in tissues
1. Only a small fraction of added CO2 is
carried as dissolved CO2 even
thought CO2 is 20-30 x more soluble
than O2
