The job of alveoli?
The tiny sacs within the lungs which allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move between the lungs and the bloodstream is called alveoli. It is needed by the body to supply oxygen.
What job is the lungs allow the blood to do?
Exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli of the lung, then transfer it to the heart
What makes the lungs strong?
The alveoli and the breathing route: nose + mouth to--> trachea to--> bronchus to--> bronchi (not the same as bronchus, I don't know why) to--> bronchioli -->alveoli -->capillary and then return to deflate
What is the another job of your lungs besides getting oxygen for your cells?
Regulating the Ph of your blood.
What organs benefit from the lungs job?
All organs are made up of living cells. All living cells need oxygen to survive. Therefore, all organs benefit from the work of the lungs.
What is a job of a blood cell?
The job of a blood cell is to pick up oxygen from the lungs and carrying oxygen to the other cells in the body.
What happens to your alveoli when you smoke?
Smoking affects the alveoli in the lungs because when the red blood cells absorb oxygen into the alveoli when the smoke is mixing with the clean oxygen it becomes unhealthy for your lungs and dangerous.
What is the function of a pulmonary arteriole?
a pulmonary artieriole is part of the respiratory system. inside the respiratory system is an organ called alveoli and the alveoli are covered in a network of capillary. the job of the pulmonary arteriole is to carry deoxygenated blood into the capillary network.
What is another duty of red blood cells?
Red blood cells really have only one job - transport gases through the blood. They carry oxygen from the lungs to the tissues, and they carry carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs.
Exchange of materials between the blood and the cells takes place?
Respiration. The main job of blood is to perform external and internal respiration, in the lungs and the tissues. This main job is called gas exchange.
What is the main job of the erythrocytes in the blood?
The erythrocytes, or red blood cells as they are more commonly known as, transport oxygen to the body's cells and extract the carbon dioxide and send it to the lungs to be excreted.
What job the lungs perform in eliminating wastes from the body?
Yes, in a way. They take out the carbon dioxide from the blood and put the oxygen back in the blood. The sole purpose of the blood is to get oxygen from the lungs and bring it to other body parts and take the carbon dioxide back to the lungs.
