How do carbon dioxide water and oxygen move in lungs?
using diffusion and osmosis.
How does oxygen move?
Oxygen moves through your red blood cells.
How does oxygen move from blood into body cells?
by diffusion
If you have an oxygen definency how does your body react?
Oxygen is used by the cells for aerobic respiration -- the oxidation of carbohydrates to provide energy for the cells. The process provides the energy to move muscles, and to build tissues, and to keep the body warm.
How do you explain how oxygen gets into your blood?
We should first start at the beginning. As you know, you breathe oxygen in when you contract your diaphragm and air fills your lungs. The walls of your lungs are filled with capillaries (tiny blood vessels) that look kind of like feathers. If you were to stretch out the entire surface area of the capillaries in your lungs, it would be about equal to the size of a tennis court! So, in the capillaries flows your de-oxygenated blood. It has been on a complete cycle through your body, and is now low on O2. When the erythrocytes (red blood cells) enter the capillaries, the oxygen gets chemically stuck to them. It attaches to a large protein called hemoglobin, a 4 piece protein with a single iron atom at the center. (this explains why an iron deficiency can lead to anemia, or a low red blood cell count) Each red blood cell contains as many, many hemoglobin molecules. The oxygen is at a HIGH concentration in your lungs, and so flows into the LOW concentration in the blood. As the laws of nature would predict, as the red blood cells move into areas of lower oxygen concentration, the oxygen leaves the hemoglobin and enters its new tissue.
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 is the function of the aveoli?
The function of the alveoli is to allow gas exchange with the blood and lungs. It takes in the carbon dioxide and then diffuses it.
How do alveoli work?
The alveoli are located in the lungs. They are used to move carbon dioxide and oxygen between the lungs and the bloodstream.
Does oxygen move from the alveoli into the bloodstream?
i dont noww , alveoli is stupid
What organ does the oxygen move into?
You think to lungs.
What of the following describes the functions of lungs?
Lungs Move Oxygen From The Air Into The Blood.
Why do lungs have a surface area of about 60 metres squared and a good supply of blood?
The large surface area and blood supply allow the largest opportunity for diffusion. Both of these factors make it easier for oxygen to move into the bloodstream and CO2 to move out.
What Sacs in lungs that move oxygen to blood?
They are the alveoli.
What causes oxygen to move into and out of the body?
The Respiratory system. We breathe oxygen containing air into our lungs. Our hearts send 'old' blood to the lungs where the carbon dioxide is removed and oxygen added, and that oxygen enriched blood is carried around the body until it lands up in the lungs again. So is it really a joint effort by the circulatory system and the respiratory system.
What 2 examples of diffusion occurring in the human body and explain why they represent diffusion and what substances are involve and how it benefits the body?
One example of diffusion in the human body is the movement of oxygen from the lungs into the bloodstream. Oxygen molecules move from an area of high concentration (lungs) to an area of low concentration (bloodstream) through the respiratory membrane. This benefits the body by replenishing oxygen levels in the blood, which is essential for cellular respiration. Another example is the diffusion of glucose from the bloodstream into the cells. Glucose molecules move from an area of high concentration (bloodstream) to an area of low concentration (cells) through the cell membrane. This benefits the body by providing energy for cellular functions and metabolism.
What damage does smoking do to your lungs?
Smoking damages the lungs in several ways. It damages the cilia which are hair like structures which move contaminants from the lungs, therefore allowing the contaminants to remain. Smoking also damages the alveoli in the lungs, which are small air sacs that help deliver oxygen into the bloodstream and assist in removing carbon dioxide when you exhale.
How do gasses move from the lungs to the blood?
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.
