Gas Exchange & Physics

I've been reading/summarizing Medical Physiology (Boron & Boulpaep), and I thought I understood the whole shebang with the physics on gas exchange etc.
My thoughts on the lectures on blood gas exchange: "BRING IT ON!"
The first hour or so was alright, I managed to understand it.

But the second hour..

Brain is overwhelmed.

2.3 - Pulmonary disorders and gas exchange



 
Next Block! Lung diseases and gas exchange!
Okay, those are cat lungs, or so I've been told, and they're definitely NOT supposed to completely collapse like that.. But dayum, those lungs are beautiful.
