Abstract

In humans, the transfer of respiratory gases between the atmosphere and living cells depends on their diffusion between lungs, blood, and cells, as well as their advective transport by breathing and circulation of blood. Fick’s law helps us measure and understand gas transfer from a perspective of diffusion. Fick’s principle helps us do the same from a perspective of advection.
