Respiratory Gas Exchange Simulator

Education

Work out the oxygen pressure in the alveoli with the alveolar gas equation, then watch blood load oxygen as it crosses a lung capillary in about three-quarters of a second. Shift the hemoglobin curve with the Bohr effect, reduce the diffusing capacity, climb to altitude or add shunt and dead space to see how each change lowers the oxygen reaching the blood. It's about gas exchange, not breathing mechanics, and carries a clear educational-model note.
