Lungs And Gas Exchange: Understanding Diffusion Factors Describe factors determine oxygen uptake in lung. Answer: Factors determining oxygen uptake in lungs: 1. Pressure gradient: Uptake of oxygen by the blood in the lungs in mainly favoured by oxygen pressure gradient. Thus, because of this pressure gradient. O2 rapidly diffuses from alveoli through the … [Read more...] about Lungs And Gas Exchange: Understanding Diffusion Factors
