Oxygen has a relatively low solubility coefficient and therefore requires a steep (high) partial pressure gradient to help diffuse the gas into the blood.

Solubility is described as the limiting amount of an element that can dissolve in any amount of solvent at a set temperature. Since oxygen has a low coefficient of this, it requires the help of a higher partial pressure gradient to diffuse properly into the bloodstream.
