Transcribed Image Text:### Gas Exchange in Systemic Circulation
#### Overview:
This diagram provides a detailed representation of the gas exchange process in systemic circulation and its relationship to oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) pressures.
#### Key Points:
- **Oxygen Tension in Alveoli:**
- The partial pressure of oxygen in the alveoli (P(O₂)) is 95 mm Hg.
- **Carbon Dioxide Tension in Alveoli:**
- The partial pressure of carbon dioxide in the alveoli (P(CO₂)) is 40 mm Hg.
- **Gas Exchange with Systemic Cells:**
- **Systemic Circulation:**
- The systemic circulation carries oxygenated blood from the heart to the systemic cells.
- **Systemic Cells:**
- Within these cells, the P(O₂) drops to 40 mm Hg, indicating oxygen utilization by the cells.
- The P(CO₂) increases to 45 mm Hg as a result of cellular respiration, where CO₂ is a byproduct.
- **Carbon Dioxide Exchange:**
- The systemic circulation then carries deoxygenated blood, rich in CO₂, back to the lungs.
- CO₂ is expelled from the body through the respiratory process.
#### Diagram Description:
1. **Systemic Cells:**
- Illustrated in a segment with systemic circulatory vessels (arterioles and venules).
- Oxygen is depicted entering the cells (illustrated as blue arrows going into red blood cells).
- Carbon dioxide is shown leaving the cells (illustrated as red arrows going out from red blood cells).
2. **Gas Exchange Panels:**
- Shows partial pressures of gases in a simplified format for easy comprehension.
- **First Panel**: Indicates systemic cells with annotated pressures:
- P(O₂) = 40 mm Hg
- P(CO₂) = 45 mm Hg
- **Second Panel**: Depicts oxygen exchange in alveoli:
- P(CO₂) = 40 mm Hg during oxygenation.
- **Third Panel**: Illustrates carbon dioxide exchange in alveoli:
- P(O₂) = 95 mm Hg
- P(CO₂) = 45 mm Hg which will be exchanged.
3. **Graphical Arrows:**
- Blue Arrows: Represent the direction of oxygen diffusion from the lungs to the bloodstream
