How the absorption of oxygen and the elimination of carbon dioxide are carried out in the lungs?
Respiration is the process in the lungs of absorbing oxygen into tissue while removing carbon dioxide. This is carried out by inhalation and exhalation.
What drives the movement of carbon dioxide from tissue into the bloodstream?
Movement of carbon dioxide is driffen by osmosis from and to the tissue and bloodstream. Also active transport can be used. Amount of CO2 present is monitored by means of the pH of your blood as dissolved CO2 is acidic.
Erythrocytes transport oxygen and serve to?
It is to carry oxygen from the lungs to tissue around the body.
Is red blood cells a tissue?
No. Red blood cells do not create a tissue. It transports Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide throughout your body.
What principles govern whether oxygen or carbon dioxide to enter and leave the blood in the lungs and in the tissue?
Diffusion
What tissue located in the alveoli and provides a short distance for the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
simple squamous
When is heart-lung transplantation required?
when blood ventilation (air exchange) is inhibited. Inhibited oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer prevents the delivery of oxygen to the tissue and results in carbon dioxide levels in the blood that are higher than normal.
The movement of both oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body is accomplished by?
The process known as diffusion. The cardiovascular system plays a large role by transporting both of these gases through the blood. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are both carried by the red blood cells (RBC). The carbon dioxide is "buffered" by the blood to keep it from turning acidic. This process results in respiration. The two kinds of respiration are internal (tissue) respiration and external (pulmonary) respiration.
What is an animal's smallest structure organ cell tissue or carbon dioxide?
carbon dioxide
Where does oxygen and carbon dioxide enter and exit the plant during photosynthesis?
Carbon dioxide is a by-product of oxidative metabolism whereby sugars are broken down and their carbon molecules are transformed to C02 with the 02 coming from inhaled oxygen. Carbon dioxide leaves the body by diffusing from the tissue into the blood then leaving the body through the lungs.
What do the jellyfish breathe with?
Jelly fish don't have lungs. They exchange molecular oxygen and carbon dioxide through their "skin" tissue.
How are gases carried around inside the body?
Other than as free gases in the lungs, gases are either dissolved in the blood plasma or absorbed by the protein hemoglobin found in red blood cells. Hemoglobin mostly absorbs oxygen, carbon monoxide, or carbon dioxide and carries these gases between the cells and the lungs. Nitrogen gas dissolves in blood plasma and body tissues, and is also a metabolic byproduct (as urea).
