Respiratory Gas Analysis

By interrogating the gas exchange occurring in the lungs during breathing we can learn a lot about respiratory processes.  

The exchange of gases (O2 & CO2) between the alveoli and blood occurs by simple diffusion: O2  diffusing from the alveoli into the blood and CO2 from the blood  into the alveoli. Diffusion requires a concentration gradient. So, the concentration (or pressure) of O2 in the alveoli must be kept at a higher level that in the blood & the concentration (or pressure) of CO2 in the alveoli must be kept at a lower level than in the blood. We do this by breathing - continuously bringing fresh air (with a high percentage of O2 and much smaller fraction of CO2) into the lungs and alveoli.
