title: [The physiological role of the structural-functional changes in the air-blood barrier of the lungs in supplying the body with oxygen under the action of extreme factors].
abstract: Hypoxic states, under the effect of extreme factors, induced changes in the endothelium of the lung capillaries irrespective of the nature of the factors (exo- or endogenous) causing the hypoxic state. Significant changes of the mitochondrial apparatus of the lung air-blood barrier cells occurred in the hypoxic hypoxia. The data obtained suggest that the thickness of the ABB, under extreme conditions, cannot serve as a parameter of the morphofunctional state of the lung ABB. The compensatory-adaptive response of the cell structures seem to decrease the oxygen diffusion from the alveolar gas into the blood of the lung capillaries.
