Title: Respiratory System regarding alveolar air spaces and capillaries....
Post by: stationhome on Nov 21, 2011
What is the mechanism by which the O2 molecule goes through the respiratory membrane, that is, from alveolar air spaces to alveolar capillaries And, what factors influence the rate at which this happens?

Isn't this referred to as external respiration?

This is not a PhysioEx question.  Did I post in the wrong place?  New here and still learning the ropes.  Thanks.
