Total atmospheric pressure at sea level is 760 mmHg 101 kilopascal kPa , with oxygen O sub 2 sub providing a partial pressure p O sub 2 sub of convert 160 mmHg abbr on , 21 by volume, at the alveolar sac. The pressure drop is due to conduction loss as oxygen travels along the transport passageway. Atmospheric pressure de well. Interchange In similar manner, CO sub 2 sub , which is a result of tissue cellular respiration, is also exchanged. The p CO sub 2 sub changes from convert 45 to 35 mmHg abbr on in the alveoli. The concentration of this gas in the breath can be measured using a capnograph . As a secondary measurement, respiration rate can be derived from a CO sub 2 sub breath waveform. Gas exchange occurs only at pulmonary and systemic circulation systemic capillary beds, but anyone can perform simple experiments with electrodes in blood on the bench top to observe electric field stimulated effervescence. Trace gases Trace gases present in breath at levels lower than a part per million are ammonia , acetone , isoprene . These can be measured using selected ion flow tube mass spectrometry . Diffusion Blood carries oxygen, carbon dioxide, and hydrogen ion s between tissues and the lungs. The majority of CO sub 2 sub transported in the blood is dissolved in plasma primarily as dissolved bicarbonate ... inhalation inspiration and exhalation expiration .

. High pulmonary blood pressures The most widely accepted theory at present is that high transmural pressures lead to pulmonary capillary stress failure. Pulmonary capillary transmural pressure is determined by pulmonary capillary pressure and airway pressure. The horse has very high pulmonary vascular pressures during intense exercise commonly exceeding 100mmHg in the pulmonary artery during intense exercise. During expiration the high positive pressures in the pulmonary blood vessels pushing out are opposed by high positive airway pressures pushing back and this does not place undue stress on the thin blood vessel walls. During inspiration the high positive pressures in the pulmonary blood vessels pushing out are met by negative pressures distending the blood vessel and placing increased stress on the walls. Studies in vitro have demonstrated that significant disruption of the pulmonary capillaries occurs at pressures of approximately 80 mmHg. In vivo it has also been shown that significant EIPH occurs above a mean pulmonary artery pressure of around 80 95 mmHg. ref Meyer et ... pulmonary vascular pressures e.g. hypervolaemia or increase the magnitude of the negative pressures ... pulmonary venous pressures lead to the capillary rupture and the tissue changes observed has recently ..., such as very high pulmonary vascular pressures.
