The partial pressure of a gas in the air you breathe in is equal to the total atmospheric pressure times the fractional concentration of the gas. How well a gas dissolves in a liquid such as blood depends on both its partial pressure and its solubility. The pressure of gas in your lungs is inversely proportional to the volume in your lungs.

Eleanor Higgins · Answer 1

The answer is The pressure of gas in your lungs is inversely proportional to the volume in your lungs.

Explanation:

Because Boyle's law describes how air moves in and out of your lungs during inspiration and expiration. By the changing the volume inside the thoracic cavity, the pressure changes in the lungs. Increasing volume of thoracic cavity leads to a decreased pressure, causing air to flow into the lungs, down its pressure gradient and thus causing inspiration.
