Description: A highly diagrammatic illustration of the process of gas exchange in the mammalian lungs, emphasizing the differences between the gas compositions of the ambient air, the alveolar air with which the pulmonary capillary blood equilibrates, and the blood gas tensions in the pulmonary arterial and venous blood. All the gas tensions are in kPa. To convert to mm Hg, multiply by 7.5.
