Transport Of Oxygen

From WikiLectures

Organism gets oxygen from the environment environment diffusion over alveolo-capillary membrane . The latter is important for aerobic metabolism and normal functioning organism .

Oxygen is in the blood bound to hemoglobinoxyhemoglobin; in dissolved form is his amount minimal .

quantity of hemoglobin ( Hb ) in [[ erythrocyte ] ] ech indicates transport the blood 's capacity for oxygen .

  • 1 g Hb = 1.39 ml oxygen → 150 g Hb in 1 liter of blood = 200 ml of oxygen → at minute cardiac volume 5 l is therefore 1 L of oxygen transferred for a minute .
  • Concentration oxygen we express partial by pressure ( pO 2).
  • Saturation Hb oxygen indicates ' saturation . It is expressed in percentages .
  • Body an adult a person at peace consumes approx. 250 ml of oxygen / min.
  • Quantity of oxygen in the blood = 1.39 x amount Hb vg/lx saturation in %.

Influence bonds of oxygen[edit | edit source]

Custody oxygen on Hb is affected by :

  • by temperature ( tissues , environment ),
  • Blood pH
  • pCO 2,
  • → high pCO 2 and decreasing pH decreases affinity Hb to oxygen .

At work tissue is released larger amount of CO2, is formed heat and influence creation acidic substances, the pH is lowered - this all supports release of oxygen from Hb . Custody so there is oxygen addicted on metabolic claims organism , on his consumption .

Increase supplies of oxygen can ensure for normal ones circumstances by increasing ventilation ( increase breath . frequency and volume ) and acceleration Cardiac heart rate action . By influencing these parameters organism compensates increased enjoyment oxygen in tissues .

Increase amount dissolved of oxygen in the blood you can reach hyperbaric oxygen therapy .
