What else can I help you with?
What absorbes oxygen from the air?
the aveoli in the Lungs
Is the aveoli an organ?
no cause aveoli are little air sacks in the lungs. they are not an organ they are in an organ.
What is the microscopic air sacs called?
aveoli
Does the air exchange happen in the bronchioles?
no, in the aveoli
What is the function of the aveoli duct?
To get inhaled air to the alveoi for gas exchange
What is it called when the oxygen in your lungs moves from the air spaces from high concentration to low concentration?
breathing
When is air pollution concentration likely to be high?
In Beijing and China
What is another word for air sacs?
another word for air sac is alveolus.
What are air sacs in the lungs also called?
There should never be "air bubbles" in the lungs. This would be an abnormal finding AND a life and death emergency. An air bubble that travels in the blood stream to the heart, lungs, or brain is an air embolism.IF however you mean the sacs in the lungs that exchange (through the hemoglobin on red blood cells) carbon dioxide for oxygen, those grape-like structures are called aveoli. Aveoli are NOT "air bubbles" though. Numerous small blood vessels cover the outside of each aveoli. The Hgb releases oxygen to the aveoli; the aveoli then pass carbon dioxide back to the Hgb. The Hgb on the red blood cells cannot pick up the O2, until the Hgb lets go of the CO2. Because the aveoli are round and there are many of them, they have high surface area. One breath supplies enough O2 while exhaling the CO2.
What are filled with oxygen-rich air?
The aveoli of the lungs are filled with oxygen when you take a breathe in.
Is artificial respiration the same as inhalation?
inhalation is the taking in of air to the lungsartificial respiration is a method of forcing air in and out of the lungs when the body is not able to do this itself
What is de-recruiting?
In the domain of anesthesiology and medical ventilation, decruitment is the collapse of aveoli (the little air chambers) in the lung, resulting in decreased oxygenation and air/CO2 exchange. A recruitment procedure is routinely performed, in which air is applied to the lungs at a sustained higher pressure to reopen decruited aveoli.
