Does the gas exchange function of the respiratory system occur in the alveoli?
Yes gas is transferred through the alveolar/capillary membrane in the alveolus. Gas moves from the alveolar air sacs to the pulmonary capillaries.
Where does the majority of gas exchange occur?
the alveolus
What is the primary gas exchange site in the respiratory system?
alveoli
What are two gases that enter and exit from the alveolus?
It is carbon dioxide which is collected from different organs of the body by blood
Gas exchange in the lungs occurs between blood in capillaries and air in?
alveolus
In which structure does gas exchange occur?
gas exchange occurs between pulmonary capillaries and the alveoli in the lungs.
What is gas exchange in the lungs?
The process in which oxygen enters the bloodstream through the alveolus and carbon dioxide exits the bloodstream also through the same alveolus to be exhaled.
What is the difference between alveolus of the lung and the bronchus of the lung?
The bronchus of a lung is the tubes leading up to the alveolus of the lung. The alveolus of a lung is the small air sacs at the end of the bronchi (bronchus). The alveoli is where the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
What is the adjective for alveolus?
The adjective for alveolus (singular) or alveoli (plural) is alveolar.
Gas exchange occurs at the respiratory membrane between the?
The membrane of the alveolus, the air sacs in the lungs where this process takes place, is only one cell thick. The wall of the capillary running adjacent to the alveolus is also one cell thick, so the gases are exchanged between the alveolus and the capillary cell membranes.
Is heat transferred by conduction slower in a gas?
...in a gas compared to what?
What part of the mammary gland produces milk?
