1. In anaesthetized open‐chest cats and dogs, blood flow and gas tensions were measured in a circuit inserted into a pulmonary vein while ventilating the lobe which it drained with low O2and high CO2mixtures.2. Both hypoxic and hypercapnic mixtures caused a reduction in blood flow from the lobe.3. Stimulus—response curves relating blood flow to pulmonary venousPO2andPCO2were obtained. Those for hypoxia were usually asymptotic in shape; the curves became steep below 100 torr and flow sometimes fell to zero. The mean reduction in blood flow for every 20 torr fall inPO2was 15·7% in cats and 11·8% in dogs. Those for hypercapnia were steep at first but levelled out at highPCO2values; the maximum reduction in flow was 40–60% as vasoconstriction was only observed over a limitedPCO2range.4. Hypoventilation of the lobe led to a reduction in blood flow. This was mainly attributable to hypoxia though other factors such as hypercapnia may sometimes have contributed.5. Total occlusion of the bronchus of an O2‐filled lobe caused blood flow to fall in two phases. The first phase could be attributed to a rise inPCO2and the second to a fall inPO2.6. The results confirm the hypothesis that hypoxia is an important factor regulating local blood flow in relation to local ventilation.
