Abstract

Mayow’s work in 1673 is cited by Landois (1905) as the first demonstration of the liberation of gases from blood in a vacuum. In 1863 Meyer, Ludwig, and Pfleuger established that the oxygen leaving the lung was transported in a combined form with hemoglobin and that the oxygen was released into the tissues accompanied by a change in color of the blood.
