What stimulates blood to release oxygen to tissues?
Blood releases its oxygen into the tissues at the capillary level.
Gas exchange is also known as?
Respiration is a process of gas exchange. Respiration is necessary to supply cells with oxygen for metabolism and to remove the waste by product carbon dioxide.
What are small sac-like structures that is the site of gas exchange in the lungs?
"alveoli"
What is the function of simple tissues?
They are designed to exchange materials such as the alveoli exchange gases or the capillary walls exchange fluid and nutrients with the intestitial tissues.
What conditions does gas exchange occur?
When the partial pressure between the alveoli and the blood, or between the blood and the tissues, is different - i.e. when a concentration gradient exists.
What tube carries smoke in and out of the lungs?
The capillary is the smallest of the blood vessels. It is the site of gas exchange between the blood and the tissues.
What do sphincters in capillary beds do?
They can control gas exchange in the tissues. When they are constricted, there is almost complete no gas exchange. The blood just bypasses the tissues.
What are capillaries and what are their functions?
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels. They connect arteries and veins. They are the site of gas, waste, and nutrient exchange between the blood and the body tissues.
What tissues are responsible for gas exhange in the frog?
skin is responsible for gas exchange in frogs, but not in snakes
What is the site for gas exchange?
the organ that is involved in gas exchange is the lung. the specific lung structure that is the site for gas exchange is the alveolus which is part of the alveoli, which is found in the lung.
What does gas exchange in mollusks between surrounding environment and highly folded tissues called?
It is called wrapped tissues
What do caplillaries do?
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels, and they allow for gas exchange in the tissues.
What stimulates blood to release oxygen to tissues?
Blood releases its oxygen into the tissues at the capillary level.
What is the principal site of gas exchange in the lung?
They are the alveoli.
Gas exchange is also known as?
Respiration is a process of gas exchange. Respiration is necessary to supply cells with oxygen for metabolism and to remove the waste by product carbon dioxide.
In which type of vessels does gas exchange between blood and tissues occur to the greatest extent-veins?
The capillaries
What is the actual site of gas exchange between lungs and the blood?
The alveoli
