Diffusion capacity - Diffusion capacity

Japanese: 拡散能 - かくさんのう
Diffusion capacity - Diffusion capacity

…The O2 and CO2 partial pressures in the arterialized capillaries are considered to be almost equal to those in the alveoli. The ease with which gases diffuse through the respiratory membrane is called diffusion capacity, and is expressed as the amount of gas that moves between the alveoli and the blood per minute with a pressure difference of 1 mmHg. The O2 diffusion capacity of an adult at rest is 21 ml/min mmHgO2 partial pressure, and during vigorous exercise, this value increases threefold as the alveoli expand and their surface area increases, the thickness of the respiratory membrane decreases, and the capillaries expand and the ventilation area increases. …

*Some of the terminology explanations that mention "diffusion capacity" are listed below.

Japanese:

…動脈血化した毛細血管内の血液のO2分圧,CO2分圧は肺胞のそれらとほぼ等しいとみなされる。ガスの呼吸膜での拡散のしやすさを拡散能といい,1mmHgの圧力差で1分間に肺胞気と血液との間を移行するガス量で表す。成人の安静時のO2の拡散能は21ml/分・mmHgO2分圧で,激しい運動時には肺胞が伸展されて表面積が増し,呼吸膜の厚さが減少すること,毛細血管が拡張して換気面積が大きくなることなどによって,値が3倍に増加する。…
