Container B represent one of our many tissue's cells, having a typical pO2 of 40 torr, and let Container C represent arterial blood plasma with a normal pO2 of 100 torr. They sit side by side, separated only by the capillary wall. We know the gases are permeable, so they move randomly in both directions. But the net diffusion of gases will be in which direction? Explain why.

Now let's look at a cell, with a typical pO2 of 40 torr located next to a capillary containing arterialized plasma with a normal pO2 of 100 torr. Let the next container represent the alveolus, filled with inhaled gas, with a pO2 of 100 torr. They sit side by side separated only by the capillary wall and by the alveolar wall. Of course, in reality, plasma moves between the alveolus and tissues as the heart pumps. We know gases are...
