In the respiratory system oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide leaves the blood in clusters called?
Alveoli (plural) and alveolus (singular)
What are the air sacs in clusters in the lungs?
They are called Alveoli. They act as the primary gas exchange. Their wall is thin, and is surrounded by capillaries. This allows exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the respiratory and circulatory systems.
What does the respiratory remove?
carbon dioxide
What gas does the respiratory system get rid of?
The respiratory system utilises oxygen from the environmrntal gases and expires carbon dioxide (CO2).
Does oxygen or carbon dioxide have the greatest stimulating effect on the respiratory center in the brain?
Carbon dioxide.
What has the greatest stimulation on the respiratory center in the brain?
blood carbon dioxide levels
What does the respiratory system get rid of?
Carbon dioxide
What does the respiratory system take out?
Carbon dioxide.
What is exchanged in the respiratory system?
Carbon dioxide
What is gas exchange in the respiratory?
Carbon dioxide
Is the respiratory system is the system that moves oxygen into your body and takes carbon dioxide and water out?
The respiratory system moves oxygen in and carbon dioxide (CO2) out.
Why is carbon dioxide important to the respiratory system?
During the respiratory system, oxygen travels through the respiratory tract and diffuses to the red blood cells from alveoli which receives carbon dioxide from the RBC's. The carbon dioxide comes from cells in the body. When the RBC's travel through the body to transfer oxygen to the cells it receives carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide enters the alveoli and travels through the respiratory tract and is breathed out.
