Why are capillaries found in alveoli nephrons and villi?
Wherever capillaries are found, these are places where nutrients and wastes are exchanged.
Compare the functioning of alveoli in the lungs and nephrons in the kidneys with respect to their structure and functioning?
the alveoli provide a suface where exchange of gases can take place. The walls of the alveoli contain an extensive network of blood vessels.when we breath in, we lift our ribs and flatten our diaphragm,and the chest cavity becomes larger as a result. Because of this,air is sucked into lungs and fills the expanded alveoli.
Why are capillaries and not arteries or veins found in alveoli nephrons and villi?
vessel walls must be thin to allow ease to transfer of molecules to these tissues i had this on a test and i got it right :)
Why are capillaries and not arteries found in aliveonephronsvilli?
The capillaries found in the alveoli, nephrons, and vili are thin-walled and narrow. This size and construction makes it easier for nutrients, oxygen, and wastes to diffuse from body tissues.
Explain how the respiratory and circulatory systems interact within the alveoli?
The respiratory and circulatory systems interact within the alveoli in a simultaneous manner. When you breathe in the oxygen in diffused in the alveoli which is then carried by the blood to the heart and pumped to the rest of the body.
What is the common between alveoli and an nephron?
Aveoli are part of your respitory system and are located in your lungs, and their function is to give Carbon Dioxide to your lungs (for you to exhale) and take Oxygen from your lungs (to give to the capillaries-your blood). So, the aveoli's, in a sense, filter your bloods oxygen. Nephrons are part of the excretory system and are located in your kidneys. Their function is to filter your blood by taking out excess salts and waste. So, the nephrons also filter out your blood, but instead of filtering the gasses in your blood, the nephrons filter out the metabolic wastes.
What connects the respiratory and circulatory system?
Alveoli
How does osmosis occur in the circulatory system?
Substances may pass through membranes in cells to exchange gases in the alveoli in the lungs or liquid in the nephrons in the kidney. As blood circulates, it encounters such areas and wastes are deposited into the kidneys or air is taken up by the lungs which is passed into the blood.
What is the functional unit of lungs?
alveoli
Explain the relationship between structure and function.use alveoli as an explain.Be sure to include more that one level of organization?
alveoli are arranged in grape like groups to increase surface area in which gas exchange takes place, the walls are very thin just big enough for on cell to pass so that there is an increase in rate of diffusion, walls of alveoli are moist so it also increases the rate of diffusion and the alveoli can stretch so that it prevents the alveoli form over filling with air and damaging the thin walls
What are the air sacs in your lungs?
Alveoli alveoli - air sacs in your lungs
What are the tiny air sacs called in the bronchi branches?
Alveoli
