Oxygen enters the respiratory system through the mouth and the nose. The oxygen then passes through the larynx (where speech sounds are produced) and the trachea which is a tube that enters the chest cavity. In the chest cavity, the trachea splits into two smaller tubes called the bronchi. Each bronchus then divides again forming the bronchial tubes. The bronchial tubes lead directly into the lungs where they divide into many smaller tubes which connect to tiny sacs called alveoli. The average adult's lungs contain about 600 million of these spongy, air-filled sacs that are surrounded by capillaries. The inhaled oxygen passes into the alveoli and then diffuses through the capillaries into the arterial blood. Meanwhile, the waste-rich blood from the veins releases its carbon dioxide into the alveoli. The carbon dioxide follows the same path out of the lungs when you exhale.
If you have 3 liters of air in your lungs and 2 tenths of that is oxygen, how many milliliters of oxygen are in your lungs?
blood takes oxygen and gives carbon dioxide to the lungs
lungs take oxygen into your body
Blood goes to the lungs oxygen poor and comes out of the lungs oxygen rich.
Yes, when we breathe in, oxygen from the air enters our lungs. This oxygen is then absorbed into the bloodstream through tiny air sacs in the lungs called alveoli.
600 milliliters of oxygen
oxygen goes into your lungs and then co2 comes out when mixed with a substance in your lungs.
the oxygen goes to the air sacs inside of the lungs.
when lungs inhale oxygen what doesit exhale as waste
The oxygen poor blood (not enough oxygen) goes to the lungs to get more oxygen to turn into oxygen rich blood (has plenty of oxygen)
Lungs collect oxygen.
