    Diffusion limits equilibrium. Does it mean
    1) diffusion properties of the gas
    2) diffusion properties of respiratory membrane sir?

    • @VivekSirsPhysiology
      @VivekSirsPhysiology  4 года назад +1

      In the particular phrase 'diffusion limits equilibrium', it's talking about the diffusion property of the gas. However, the phrase itself is being used in the context of measurement of the diffusion capacity of the respiratory membrane.
      Thanks for the query, though. I could be more specific while discussing the topic.

    Sir,why the limiting factor for diffusion of CO is diffusion? Does it have to do with lipid solubility of CO or any other factor?

    • @VivekSirsPhysiology
      @VivekSirsPhysiology  3 года назад +1

      Lipid solubility, and high affinity to combine with Hb, these two factors do not allow CO to reach equilibrium, and become the limiting factors.

    Sir, in semulingam diffusing capacity of oxygen is 21ml/min/Hg
    I'm a bit confused here, can you please help

    • @VivekSirsPhysiology
      @VivekSirsPhysiology  3 года назад +4

      Yes. That's right. 21-23 mL/min/mm Hg for oxygen. To understand these values, they should be read in the reverse fashion (from right to left). So, here it is - For every 1 mm Hg, in every 1 min, 21 mL of oxygen will diffuse through the respiratory membrane.
      Further, what is this 1 mm Hg?
      That's the PRESSURE GRADIENT across the respiratory membrane.
      So, if the pressure difference from alveolus to blood is 1 mm Hg, then in 1 minute, 21 mL of oxygen will diffuse (through resp membrane, from alveolus to blood).
      Pressure gradient is about 11 mm Hg. And hence (21 X 11 =) about 230 mL of oxygen diffuses every minute.
      [Actually, it is 230-250 mL oxygen diffuses from alveolus to blood, and the same amount of oxygen is used by the body every minute.]
