Chapter 25, Problem 25.12E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The reason corresponding to the fact that ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ and ${\text{CO}}_{\text{2}}$ transport processes has critical significance of the large capillary surface areas is to be stated. The driving force which causes carbon dioxide to move from the bloodstream into lung alveoli and ${\text{O}}_{\text{2}}$ to move from lung alveoli into the bloodstream is to be stated.

Concept introduction:

The process by which oxygen come inside the alveoli and carbon dioxide gets eliminated from alveoli is known as pulmonary ventilation. The process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide moves across the bloodstream is known as respiration.
