Explain the conditions which creates
problems in oxygen transport.
Name the gas that inhibits the transportation of oxygen by haemoglobin.
The diffusion coefficient of a gas is a constant and is not affected by disease states or treatment options. In contrast the other factors that determine gas diffusion through the respiratory membrane is affected by changes.Name the factors that can cause an increase in the diffusion rate through the respiratory membrane and provide detailed examples of conditions that will cause this increase.
