Limitations of diffusion capacity between lungs and blood


Recommended Posts

Hello

 

I'm writing my master thesis and part of my discussion evolves around diffusion capacity. I read several papers stating: The diffusion gradient (between alveoli and lung capillaries) increases with exercise, so the gradient is greater during vigorous exercise than during rest. Anybody got an explanation to this ?Is it due to the Bohr effect ?

 

Best regards
