Gases as a law exist independently of each other
Gases move rapidly and randomly
So in the alveoli (lungs air bags) we have "fresh" air entering this has Approx 80% Nitrogen 19%oxygen and a little carbon-di-oxide and other gases.
In our blood we have high carbon-di-oxide levels in the air we have low carbon-di-oxide levels and vice versa for oxygen
If you have smelled perfume and noticed that you can smell it from far away that's a result of diffusion.
Effectively the respiratory gases diffuse to equalize in concentration in both the blood and in alveoli. Basically in blood (deoxygenated) CO2 concentration is 50 mmHg in the air sacs it is 45 mmHg so they try t equalize.
This results in carbon-di-oxide leaving the blood and entering the alveoli.
The same thing happens to the oxygen. It's higher in air than in blood so the oxygen moves from high concentration (in air) to low concentration (in blood)
The end result is carbbon-di-oxide leaving blood and oxygen entering blood this is a basic!!! overview of the gas exchange.
Easiest answer: Capillary
What else can I help you with?
Gas exchange in the lungs takes place in what?
The gas exchange that takes place in the lungs are carbon dioxide and oxygen.
What gas take place in the lungs?
The gas exchange that takes place in the lungs are carbon dioxide and oxygen.
What are the bubble shape sacs in the lungs where gas exchange takes place?
The thin sacs in the lungs where the gas exchange takes place are called aveoli.
How does a tarantulla sprider exchange gasses?
Gas exchange takes place by book lungs .
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.
Where does the actual air exchange take place in the lungs?
The actual air exchange in the lungs takes place in the alveoli, which are tiny sacs at the end of the bronchioles. Oxygen from the inhaled air passes through the walls of the alveoli and into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled.
Where in the lungs does gas exchange happen?
AlveoliGaseous exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lung
Where in the lungs does gas exchange?
Gas exchange occurs across the respiratory membrane of the alveoli; however, the short answer is simply alveoli
Does the bronchi rises and falls when you inhale and exhale?
No, bronchi is a passage of airway in the respiratory tract that conducts air into the lungs. No gas exchange takes place in this part of the lungs.
Is the respiratory system part of the circulatory system?
No both of them are different but they meet each other in lungs where,exchange of gas takes place.
If blood takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide in the lungs the blood passes through what?
The blood passes through tiny capillaries that lie in close proximity to the alveoli in the lungs. This is where the gas exchange takes place.
Why does the blood go to the lungs?
because the gas exchange takes place in the lungs, so the carbon-dioxide and the other gases fro our blood get exchanged with oxygen
