More commonly known as Gas Exchange
Gas exchange takes place in the lungs. The movement of breathing causes the diaphragm and intercostal muscles in the chest cavity to change in size. Inside the lungs, there are large tubes branching off the windpipe called bronchi, which split into smaller and smaller tubes called bronchioles. These end in microscopic, bubble-shaped air sacs called alveoli. This is where the gas exchange takes place. In the alveolus oxygen diffuses from the air into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses in the opposite direction.
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli in the respiratory system. The thin-walled structures allow diffusion of gases into and out of the capillaries.
The gas occurs by simple diffusion through the cells.
in the alveoli
Gas exchange does not occur in the respiratory tract, it occurs in the alveoli.
By diffusion across a capillary wall.
The alveoli have very thin walls, which allow for rapid diffusion into the surrounding capillaries. There are also many alevoli in the lung, and that increases the surface area dramatically, allowing for more diffusion to occur
Diffusion occurs when something something something
Yes gas is transferred through the alveolar/capillary membrane in the alveolus. Gas moves from the alveolar air sacs to the pulmonary capillaries.
respritory system
Respiratory system.
Simple Squamous are found in ventral body cavities, alveoli and capillaries in the lings, in the kidneys, capillaries where diffusion and osmosis occur, all vessels, and the heart.
diffusion is occur when different concentration gradient is applied
