What is the tiny vessels where oxygen moves from red blood cells into body cells?
capilaries
What is the tiny vessels where oxygen moves from red blood cells into the body cells?
capilaries
What is the primary function of erythrocytes?
also known as the red blood cells. They transport oxygen around the body, the tissue is called oxygenated blood. The oxygen is then diffused through the capilaries as they are just thick enough.
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.
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.
How are red blood cells specialized to exchange gasses?
Gaseous excange takes place in the alveoli of the Lungs during respiration
What kind of blood vessel allows substaces to enter and leave the blood so easliy around cells?
capilaries. pay attention in class.
What are smell veins?
Capilaries
The tiny air sacs in the lungs that take oxygen from the air and put it into the blood?
These tiny air sacs are called alveoli. These alveoli are surrounded by capilaries tiny blood vessells. These capilaries have holes that are to small for blood cells to escape but are big enogh for oxygen molecules to pass in to the blood stream and attach to the haemoglobin in your blood.
What cells help you get oxygen?
Red Blood cells help you get oxygen to your cells
What would happens if your cells did not get oxygen?
Cells that do not get oxygen will die.
