Abstract

In the Coati mundi comparatively small changes of alveolar p0₂ confined to subsegments of a lobe provoke significant changes in blood flow. It is suggested that these changes in lobule perfusion reflect a control mechanism operating at a local level which matches ventilation to perfusion so as to maintain reasonably constant regional alveolar gas tensions.
