Across
  1. 4. type of hemoglobin bound to oxygen molecules providing the bright red color
  2. 5. dissociation of oxygen from the hemoglobin molecule
  3. 9. measurement at sea level, 70 mmHg, includes the partial pressures of nitrogen, oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water molecules
  4. 10. chemoreceptors that are very sensitive to changes in carbon dioxide partial pressures
  5. 15. all other places within the respiratory system, which functions to warm inspired air, humidify circulating air, and secrete mucus
  6. 16. the pressure that a particular gas in a mixture exerts independently
  7. 17. movement of oxygen from the outside are to the cells within tissues, transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction
Down
  1. 1. type of hemoglobin that is bound to carbon monoxide displaying a 200x higher affinity for CO than for O2
  2. 2. type of hemoglobin bound to carbon dioxide that is dissolved in the blood
  3. 3. association of oxygen with hemoglobin molecule
  4. 6. disorder caused by high partial pressure of nitrogen in the blood
  5. 7. disorder that changes the shape of red blood cells, altering the ability for the RBCs to pick up oxygen
  6. 8. chemoreceptors located in the medulla
  7. 11. the place where gas exchange only occurs, including the respiratory bronchioles and alveoli
  8. 12. state of low partial pressure of oxygen in the blood
  9. 13. chemoreceptors located in the aortic arch and carotids, very sensitive to changes in pH
  10. 14. disorder caused by high partial pressure of oxygen in the blood
