gas exchange occurs in the alveoli in the lungs where deoxygenated blood gets oxygen, that blood then goes to the heart and is pumped through the body through the aorta and the arteries, which brings oxygen to the body cells.

What organ system transports gasses between lungs and body cells?

The cardiovascular system transports gases between the lungs and the body's cells.


Which organ is responsible for exchanging gases between the cell and lungs?

The lungs are responsible for exchanging gases between the inhaled air and the blood in the body. Oxygen is taken in by the lungs and carbon dioxide is released from the blood to be exhaled.


What body system transports gases between the lungs and body cells?

Respiratory system


Where in your body are gases exchanged?

Lungs.


What job does the lungs have?

The function of the lungs is to facilitate the exchanges of gases between your circularoty system and the air outside your body. It also functions as a filter.


What does the movement of gases between the lungs and the body tissues mainly depend?

Red blood cells transport oxygen to the body tissue.


What part of the body is most responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide?

The lungs exchange gases with the air. The lungs will take in fresh, oxygen filled blood and circulate it throughout the body. The lungs will then expel the air, and start the process all over again.


How does the body take out the gases which we don't need?

The lungs allow our blood to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide and other gases. When we exhale, those gases are pushed out of our body.


Where does the exchanged of gases in the body take place?

The exchange of gases in the body primarily takes place in the lungs through the process of breathing. Oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream in the lungs, while carbon dioxide produced by cells in the body diffuses out of the bloodstream into the lungs to be exhaled.


What is the exchange of gases between the blood and air?

Diffusion. In the lungs, oxygen will diffuse into de-oxygenated blood (oxygen was removed from the blood in the body) and carbon dioxide will diffuse out of the blood into the lungs and expelled from your body when you breathe out.


What is the lungs functions?

The lungs function to oxygenate blood and rid it of gases. When we inhale, oxygen travels into our lungs, diffuses into our blood stream and is pumped throughout our body where it can feed our bodies cells. Gases and other wastes from our cells then diffuse back into our bloodstream and travel to the appropriate areas to be removed. The lungs being one of those areas then function to remove the gases (specifically carbon dioxide and excess oxygen) so they can be exhaled.
