In this article, we focus on three essential components of respiratory physiology in the process of oxygen transport from alveoli to the blood. The first is diffusion:an important phenomenon to transport oxygen from the air into the alveoli, and subsequently into the blood. Major determinants of the diffusion process are diffusion area, diffusion length, pulmonary capillary blood volume, and hemoglobin content of the blood. A disorder of any of these determinants may impair the diffusion process. Second, the partial pressure of inspiratory oxygen must be considered. The partial pressure of inspired oxygen directly affects the partial pressure of arterial oxygen and is an important index especially in hypobaric (e.g. high altitude) or hyperbaric (hyperbaric oxygen therapy) conditions. Third, the ventilation-perfusion ratio is critical to understanding gas exchange in the lungs, and is affected by gravity (e.g. body position) and the amount of shunted blood. To deliver optimal oxygen therapy in clinical practice, understanding these three aspects of respiratory physiology is fundamental.
