Where in the lung does exchange of O2 and CO2 take place?
It takes place between the alveoli and the blood capillaries
Where does exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place?
Outside where plants give off oxygen which we breathe in and we give off carbon dioxide which plants need to survive.
Does the exchange of carbon dioxide depend on the concentration of oxygen in the alveoli and the blood?
No. It depends on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli and the blood. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli is higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, so carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli diffuses out of the capillaries into the alveoli of the lungs and is exhaled.
Where does most gas exchange between blood and tissue take place?
In the alveoli of the lungs. This is where oxygen diffuses from the lungs into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the bloodstream and into the lungs.
What is The site of gas exchange in the tissues?
The site of respiration is the cells, more specifically, the mitochondria
Does carbon dioxide pass into the blood?
Carbon dioxide passes into the blood at the capillaries of the systemic circulation. Then it is released at capillaries around the alveoli.
What is the function of the veins and capillaries?
Capillaries are considered separately from veins. They are the smallest vessels in the circulatory system. Exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occur through them. Also wastes and nutrients.Veins carry deoxygenated blood from systemic circulation back to your heart. Capillaries are the small blood vessels that transfer blood between arteries and veins. The capillaries supply the cells with nutrients, fluids and oxygen. Capillaries also remove carbon dioxide.
What do capillaries exchange?
Capillaries exchange food, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
What principle causes the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the capillaries and the alveoli?
diffusion
Where does carbon dioxide exchange with oxygen?
they exchange in the aveoli and capillaries
Capillaries exchange food oxygen and what?
They exchange water, oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as nutrient and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues.
How does exchange of gases take place between the walls of the alveoli and the capillaries?
oxygen and carbon dioxide take place
Which substances are exchanged between the blood in the capillaries and the air in the alveoli?
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water are the substances exchanged between the alveoli (air sacs) and the capillaries in the lungs.
What passes between alveoli and capillaries?
Capillaries are tiny thin-walled blood vessels that connect the smallest arteries and veins and allow the exchange of nutrients and waste between the blood and tissues. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the circulatory and respiratory systems; oxygen diffuses from the lungs into the bloodstream and is transported by erythrocytes (red blood cells) throughout the body. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood into the alveoli and goes the reverse direction through the respiratory system and out the nose.
What process takes place at the capillaries and how are capillaries suited for this process?
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in the capillaries
What process takes place at the capillaries How the capillaries suited for this place?
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in the capillaries
What is the direction of diffusion of gases at the capillaries near systemic cells?
oxygen out of blood, carbon dioxide into blood
