Abstract
The resistance of pulmonary vessels rises if perfused with a solution the acidity of which is by 0·02–0·06 units pH less than that of the arterial blood. It supports the assumption that the perfusion of the particular lobules of the lung is controlled by the pH of the blood entering the pulmonary venules.Keywords
