How are lungs adapted to their jobs?
Lungs are adapted to their job of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide through a large surface area with millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli, which allows for efficient gas exchange. The walls of the alveoli are thin and surrounded by a network of small blood vessels, enabling oxygen to diffuse into the blood and carbon dioxide to diffuse out. The lungs are elastic and can expand and contract to support breathing.
How does the structure of the alveoli help do it jobs?
one feature is that an alveoli has a wide surface area. If you know any other features then add them!
How is the trachea adapted for gas exchange in lungs?
It isnt. There is no gas exchange in the trachea this takes place at the alveoli.
How is Alveoli well adapted to diffusion?
The alveoli have very thin walls, which allow for rapid diffusion into the surrounding capillaries. There are also many alevoli in the lung, and that increases the surface area dramatically, allowing for more diffusion to occur
What connects the respiratory and circulatory system?
Alveoli
What structure is adapted for the diffusion of gases?
The lungs have been adapted especially for making gas exchange more efficient. They are made up of clusters of alveoli, which are tiny air sacs with large surface areas, and are kept moist. They also have a rich blood supply, which maintains a concentration gradient in both directions. Carbon dioxide constantly being removed from the blood and oxygen constantly entering the lungs means that gas exchange happens at the highest concentration gradients to make it rapid and effective.
Explain how the cells in the leaves are adapted to their jobs?
they nake starch and produce energy for the plant.
What is the functional unit of lungs?
alveoli
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
What are the small sacs in the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
The humorus
What do the alveoli in the body do?
alveoli take co2 from
