Line 1:
In [[biology]], '''diffusion capacity''' is a measurement of the [[lung]]'s ability to transfer gases. Oxygen uptake may be limited by diffusion in circumstances of low ambient oxygen or high pulmonary blood flow. Carbon dioxide is not limited by diffusion under most circumstances.
The "diffusing capacity" or "diffusion capacity" is part of a comprehensive test series of lung function called [[pulmonary function testing]]. In Europe, this is often called the "transfer factor".
