What handles tissue exchange?

In the body, the circulatory system handles tissue exchange by transporting oxygen, nutrients, and waste products to and from cells. This exchange occurs through the blood vessels, where oxygen and nutrients are delivered to tissues, and waste products are carried away.


How does oxygen get from your nose to your temporalis muscle hair follicles?

It (oxygen) enters the lungs, is absorbed by the alveoli in the walls of the lungs, transferred in red blood cells to the heart, where it is pumped into the aorta, then to the arteries and veins and then the capilaries that feed the hair follicles which reside above the temporalis muscle.


What is the use of the capilaries?

The capillaries are the site of diffusion of wastes, oxygen, and nutrients. This allows these materials to enter and leave body tissues.


What is the primary function of erythrocytes?

Erythrocytes, or red blood cells, are responsible for transporting oxygen from the lungs to tissues throughout the body and transporting carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled. Their biconcave shape and hemoglobin content allow them to efficiently carry out this function.


Why do capillaries have semi permeable walls?

to allow for gas exchange (oxygen and carbon dioxide)Capilaries are all over you body but capilaries are a very specific topic for people and medicine students , a specific part were capilaries take place is the respiratory system for example the alveoli which are tiny sacks which are millions of them in our lungs and capiliries cover the alveoli mostly the capilaries are thin because they take out carbon dioxide out of your system.

The tiny air sacs in the lungs that take oxygen from the air and put it into the blood?
