When you inhale, air fills the alveoli and oxygen passes from the alveoli through a semipermeable membrane and into the capillaries, leading into the bloodstream. During the same process, carbon dioxide is outgassed from the blood to the alveoli

∙ 12y agoInside the lungs, the bronchus split into smaller branches to form thousands of tiny sacs called alveoli (alveolus). The capillaries surround the alveolus and absorb the oxygen, which is then carried into the circulatory system. This is what happens between the alveoli and the capillaries.

Exchange of gases in the lungs takes place between the alveoli and?
When we exhale /blow out we push out all the carbon dioxide in our lungs!
Where does most gas exchange between blood and tissue take place?
In the alveoli of the lungs. This is where oxygen diffuses from the lungs into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the bloodstream and into the lungs.
Where in the lung does exchange of O2 and CO2 take place?
It takes place between the alveoli and the blood capillaries
Where in the lungs does diffusion take place and what gasses are diffused?
---------------------------- The exchange of gasses takes place across the Alveoli, which are air spaces surrounded by very small air sacs and have a rich supply of blood, because they are surrounded by capillaries. The lungs are made up of many alveoli which are the respiratory surface. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood in the capillaries into the alveoli.
What passes between alveoli and capillaries?
Capillaries are tiny thin-walled blood vessels that connect the smallest arteries and veins and allow the exchange of nutrients and waste between the blood and tissues. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the circulatory and respiratory systems; oxygen diffuses from the lungs into the bloodstream and is transported by erythrocytes (red blood cells) throughout the body. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood into the alveoli and goes the reverse direction through the respiratory system and out the nose.
Where the exchange of gases is take place in the fish?
Across the alveoli and capillaries.
The exchange of gases occurs in the?
In the lungs are small air sacs called alveoli. These alveoli are covered with blood capillaries. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide diffuse through the alveolar capillary membrane. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli to the blood capillary and carbon dioxide diffuses from the capillary to the alveoli and you breath it out of your body.
What type of respiration takes place only in the lungs?
Pulmonary respiration takes place only in the lungs. It is a process in which oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is expelled from the body. During pulmonary respiration, the exchange of gases occurs between the alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries surrounding them.
Where does the actual air exchange take place in the lungs?
The actual air exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lungs
How does exchange of gases take place between the walls of the alveoli and the capillaries?
oxygen and carbon dioxide take place
Where does oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide pass out of the blood?
alveoli
What is relationship of the alveoli to capillaries?
The alveoli branch from the bronchioles and are responsible for gas exchange with the pulmonary capillaries. They come in close contanct with the capillaries so the exchange of O2 and Co2 can occur rapidly and easily.
