What is the circulation of the blood to and from the lungs known as?
It is called the pulmonary circulation, where blood travels to the lungs to receive oxygen and lose carbon dioxide, before returning to the heart.
Why does blood lose oxygen in the body?
The purpose of blood is to carry oxygen to the cells of the body. This oxygen is consumed via cellular respiration, which produces water and carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide is then carried by the blood to the lungs where it is exhaled.
What is the circulation of blood to and from the lungs known as?
The flow of blood to and from the lungs is called pulmonary circulation.
How does the respiratory system transport most CO2?
It has to do mostly with oxygen being attached to the hemoglobin on red blood cells. When the red cells "deliver" the oxygen to other cells, they take the waste product, i.e. CO2 (carbon dioxide), and transport it to the lungs where it is exhaled. The blood cells gain oxygen/lose carbon dioxide by being pumped through ventricles of the heart into the lungs.
What part of the bodyremoves carbon dioxide and water from blood?
The question has come from India. The lungs remove carbon dioxide from the body. The exhaled air is almost saturated with water. So there is loss of water also depending the water saturation of the inhaled air. One liter per hour of water can be lost through your skin, in hot tropical climate. But skin does not lose carbon dioxide. Water is lost via kidneys also. But then, kidney do not lose carbon dioxide.

Which gas does blood gain or lose and which does it give to the active muscle?
takes out carbon dioxide. puts in oxygen
How do the lungs skin and kidneys get rid of waste?
· Lungs o Get rid of CO2. o Lose water vapor (Incidental loss: because it is unavoidable and is not a method of controlling the water content of the body.) · Kidneys o Remove urea and other nitrogenous waste from the blood o Expel excess water, salts, hormones and drugs. · Liver o Excretes bilirubin with the bile to the small intestine to later be expelled with the feces. · Skin o Expels water, sodium chloride and urea during sweating. (Incidental loss: because sweating is a response to a rise in temperature and not to a change in blood compostion.)
What are the excretory products of the lungs?
Excretion is the process of removing metabolic wastes. In the lungs, oxygen diffuses in to the capillaries, and carbon dioxide, a byproduct of cellular respiration, diffuses out. This makes CO2 the lung excretion.
Can you lose an alvioli?
The Alveoli itself can not be 'lost', but it is possible to lose their function. Alveoli can lose their ability to exchange Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide with Blood. They can lose their elasticity and eventually rupture. Once they have ruptured it is impossible to reverse, and the damage is permanent.
