Concept Map: Gas Exchange

This concept map shows the connection between gas exchange- our body systems- and perfusion.

 

Image Description

This concept map illustrates the steps of gas exchange. The flow is as follows:

  • Respirations
    • Inhalation of air
  • Expiration to atmosphere
  • Alveoli
    • Pulmonary capillaries
    • Diffusion
    • Hemoglobin carrying capacity
      • Perfusion
      • Delivery of oxygen and nutrients
    • Cells lining alveoli
  • Cellular uptake of oxygen and nutrients
  • Cellular metabolism and energy
    • Waste products – carbon dioxide
    • Capillaries carrying waste out of cell through perfusion
      • Expiration
