13.

Deoxygenated blood returning to the lungs has a (a)   ppO2 (than at rest)

14.

There is a (a)   diffusion O2 gradient between the alveoli and blood during exercise

15.

During exercise steeper diffusion gradient this causes (a)   and more efficient gaseous exchange

16.

During exercise (a)   O2 moves from the alveoli and combines with haemoglobin in the blood

17.

During exercise deoxygenated blood returning to the lungs has a (a)   ppCO2 (than at rest).

18.

During exercise there is a (a)   CO2 diffusion gradient between the blood and the alveoli

19.

During exercise (a)   CO2 moves from the blood into alveoli and is expired
