Oxygen cascade
text:
In respiratory physiology, the oxygen cascade describes the flow of oxygen from air to mitochondria, where it is consumed in aerobic respiration to release energy. Oxygen flows from areas with high partial pressure of oxygen (PO2, also known as oxygen tension) to areas of lower PO2. Air is typically around 21% oxygen, and at sea level, the PO2 of air is typically around 159 mmHg. Humidity dilutes the concentration of oxygen in air. As air is inhaled into the lungs, it mixes with water and exhaus
