Using an X-ray TV system, we analyzed responses in the internal diameter (ID), flow velocity, and volume flow in small pulmonary vessels (100-600 microns ID) during unilobar hypoxia and hypercapnia in cats. In the hypoxic and hypercapnic lobes, the ID reduced in proportion to the degree of hypoxia and hypercapnia, respectively. The ID reduction was larger in the arteries than in the veins for a given stimulus. In the arteries, the ID reduced nonuniformly in the series-arranged vessels in response to both stimuli. The percentage ID reduction was maximal in the arteries of 200-300 microns ID, in which it was 21, 26, 28, and 36% with 5% O2, 0% O2, 5% CO2, and 10% CO2 inhalations, respectively. On the other hand, in the veins, uniform ID reduction occurred for a given stimulus. In the contralateral normoxic lobe, the ID did not change significantly. In both hypoxic and hypercapnic lobes, the flow velocity and volume flow of the small arteries decreased, with 5% O2, by 18 and 40%, respectively, and, with 5% CO2, by 23 and 50%, respectively. In contrast, in the normoxic lobe, they increased significantly during 5% O2 and 5% CO2 inhalations. We concluded that regional alveolar hypoxia and hypercapnia induced a local vasoconstriction particularly in the small arteries of 200-300 microns ID and decreased the flow velocity and volume flow in the same lung region.
