Question 1

Which of the following factors primarily determines the rate of gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide) across the alveolar-capillary membrane?

Accepted Answer

B. Partial pressure gradient of gases — The rate of gas exchange across the alveolar-capillary membrane is directly proportional to the partial pressure gradient of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
