Capillaries exchange food oxygen and what?
They exchange water, oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as nutrient and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues.
What do capillaries exchange?
Capillaries exchange food, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
Where does carbon dioxide exchange with oxygen?
they exchange in the aveoli and capillaries
What process takes place at the capillaries and how are capillaries suited for this process?
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in the capillaries
What process takes place at the capillaries How the capillaries suited for this place?
exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in the capillaries
How do capillaries exchange substances between the blood and the tissues?
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
By what process does the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place?
capillaries and the alveoli
How does the exchange of the oxygen with waste and carbon dioxide takes place in the capillaries?
Exchange takes place by diffusion .
Exchange of gases occurs between capillaries and what structure?
Exchange of carbon-di-oxide for oxygen takes place between capillaries and tissues.The exchange of gases occur through diffusion.In Lungs, oxygen from inhaled air in the alveolar space moves into the RBCs in the capillaries and the carbon-di-oxide moves form the RBCs in the capillaries to the alveolar space which is exhaled during respiration.In other tissues, the Oxygen is given to the tissues and carbon-di-oxide is taken from the tissues into the blood.Many gases can be exchanged across the capillaries but the exchange of oxygen and carbon-di-oxide occurs normally in the body.
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide through the cell membrane and capillaries can be explained by what?
diffusion
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide through the cell membrane and the capillaries can be explained by what?
diffusion
What principle causes the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the capillaries and the alveoli?
diffusion
