The alveoli in the lungs are made of a wet wall that is one cell thick with a network of capillaries to facilitate gas exchange.
What are the components of the respiratory system?
Human respiratory system contain wind pipe or trachea, bronchus, bronchi, alveoli with blood capillaries. Lungs have air sacs or alveoli which are surrounded by capillaries which oxygenate, de-oxygenated blood.
Where in the body does the respiratory system connect to the circulatory system?
The respiratory and circulatory system connect in the lungs. At the alveoli, the air sacs are wrapped closely by capillaries to facilitate gas exchange.
Where in the respiratory system does gas exhcange occur?
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli in the respiratory system. The thin-walled structures allow diffusion of gases into and out of the capillaries.
