- Helium gas is maintained at a partial pressure in alveolar gas of PHe,alv= 10 mmHg. Blood flow through the lungs is 5 L/min, the permeability surface area of the alveolar blood-gas barrier is PHe,M S= 100 mL/s, and Bunsen solubility coefficients for He in blood and barrier are a*He,blood= 0.008 mL He/(mL blood* atm) and a*He,M= 0.08 mL He/(ml blood* atm), respectively. Helium is not present in the inlet blood. Find the He flow across the microvascular barrier of the lung. Compare this with the maximum helium exchange for very high flow rates (diffusion limited). Compare the result in part (a) with the He flow when the permeability is very high (flow- limited).arrow_forwardThe total amount of oxygen per hour passing through the Respiratory membrane is equivalent to the total amount of oxygen per hour used by the body.
