circ./gas ex. chapter 44 gas exchange Gas exchange (respiration?) provides O removes CO respiratory medium atmosphere is ~1% O (by volume). Pi of O = ~160mmHg Pi of CO = ~0.3 mmhg Dalton s Law higher altitudes - hypoxia, hypoxemia respiratory rate goes up heart rate goes up AMS? respiratory surface CO and O move by diffusion. moist, thin, large surface area complexity of respiratory surface size of the organism aquatic or terrestrial metabolic demands endotherm vs. ectotherm rate of diffusion = k x A x (P - P1) D

O concentrations low in HO gills must be very efficient Ventilation necessary in water Crayfish and lobsters energy associated with ventilation?
