This overview presents the recent progress in our understanding of gas transfer by the lungs during the respiratory cycle and during breath holding. Different phenomena intervene in gas transfer, convection and diffusion in the gas, dissolution, diffusion across the alveolar-capillary membrane, diffusion across blood plasma, and finally diffusion and reaction with hemoglobin inside blood cells. The different gases, O2 , CO, and NO, have very different reaction times with hemoglobin ranging from a few microseconds to tens o
