Normal distribution of ¥, and Q. This is an idealized example. In the upper panels of A and B, the light beige-colored boxes give the alveolar venation to each lung, 8 well 3 the total alveolar ventilation (7) The pink boas give the blood flow to each lng, aswell a5 the total cardiac output (Q). The white boxes give the rates of CO, ot O; transport (ml/min) at either the pulmonary of systemic capillaries. The blue boxes give ‘he CO, and O, paral pressures (im Hg) in alveolar sr The levedar boxes give the CO, pata presse (mm Hg) and CO, content (ml) inthe tixed-venous blood, in the blood lesving each of the Ings, and in the mixedarerial blood. The dark bge~colored bores gve the same information for O,. The lower panel of A shows hypothetical plots of how total CO, content varies wth PcO, a the HD-O, saturations typical of arterial blood (red tne) and. mitedovenas blood! (lt fie). The verteal arrow indicates the decrease tm total CO, content Between the mixedavenous and aera blood ( mila). The lower panel of B shows comparable plots for how total O, content varies with Po, a the pH and Peo, ales typical of mixed venoas blood (vine cine) and arterial Blood (red care). The vercal arrow inicates the Inrease in fla Oy contemt between the mixed-venous and aera Blood rail),
