How to Change Oxygen From Profusion to Diffusion

Oxygen has to react with hemoglobin, and the time that it takes is going to be within that sort of ediet. So if that is reduced for any reason, especially with a lower partial pressure, that's going to change oxygen from profusion to diffusion limited. The to point out is that this is really specific to oxygen. And because its diffusion is also not just dependent on its solubility in blood, but also with itsSolubility through its reaction with hemoglobin.
