The movement of oxygen from the lung into the pulmonary capillaries is by?
diffusion
When capillaries are next to the body cells the movement of oxygen is from where?
From the blood to the cell.
What is the direction of diffusion of gases at the capillaries near systemic cells?
oxygen out of blood, carbon dioxide into blood
How does oxygen enter the capillaries?
Oxygen enter the capillaries by diffusion due to difference in oxygen concentrations.
How is the movement of oxygen in the body similar to and different to the movement of carbon dioxide?
So the movement of oxygen in the body is different to the movement of carbon dioxide as while oxygen enters the red blood cells during this movement the carbon dioxide stays out. It stays in the plasma. Also for the movement of carbon dioxide to happen oxygen is needed. Its a product of aerobic respiration. The movement of oxygen in the body is similar to the movement of carbon dioxide as both processes require respiration and pass through the walls of the capillaries.
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is?
It diffuses because the concentration of oxygen in the capillaries is lower than the concentration of oxygen in the air (law of diffusion).
What do capillaries exchange?
Capillaries exchange food, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
Oxygen passes into the capillaries that surround these sac?
Oxygen passes into the capillaries that surround the alveoli. The thin walls of the capillaries make this diffusion easier.
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is a?
greater concentration of oxygen in the air sacs of the lungs than in the capillaries.
Why does diffusion happen in capillaries?
Capillaries must allow diffusion too allow for exchange of oxygen. Without oxygen, the eventual consequence would be death.
Tiny blood vessels that allows food oxygen and other substance to pass the cell?
capillaries
What passes from the lung into the capillaries?
Oxygen
