Abstract
The analysis of gas exchange in the lungs has advanced importantly in the last decades. Some generally accepted models have been developed, and they have proved to be useful for understanding gas exchange in normal man and animals, and in particular in patients with pulmonary disease. In this report it will be attempted to apply the models developed for pulmonary gas exchange to analysis of O2 transfer in tissues, with particular reference to skeletal muscle. It will be shown that application of such models is meaningful, enabling us to identify the factors which may be involved in O2 delivery to skeletal muscle and to estimate their role.
