What is indirect respiration?
indirect respiration is a gaseous exchange that involves two phases: a. external respiration - exchange of gases between environment and tissues. b. internal respiration - exchange of gases between the tissues and body cells juiysiey ",
What does gas exchange in mollusks between surrounding environment and highly folded tissues called?
It is called wrapped tissues
What drives exchange of fluids between tissues and the blood?
concentration gradients, osmosis, and hydrostatic pressure
What is the function of simple tissues?
They are designed to exchange materials such as the alveoli exchange gases or the capillary walls exchange fluid and nutrients with the intestitial tissues.
What is the function of simple epithelial tissues?
They are designed to exchange materials such as the alveoli exchange gases or the capillary walls exchange fluid and nutrients with the intestitial tissues.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between the circulatory system and tissues occurs at the?
In the lungs - specifically, the alveoli.
What is meant by the term 'capillary exchange'?
Capillary Exchange is a biological term. This is where fluids, gasses, nutrients, and wastes are exchanged between the blood and body tissues by diffusion.
Gas exchange in many mollusks occurs between the surrounding environment and highly folded tissues called?
Gills
Why would the tunica media and tunica adventitia not be present in a capillary?
To permit material exchange between blood and tissues.
What conditions does gas exchange occur?
When the partial pressure between the alveoli and the blood, or between the blood and the tissues, is different - i.e. when a concentration gradient exists.
What do sphincters in capillary beds do?
They can control gas exchange in the tissues. When they are constricted, there is almost complete no gas exchange. The blood just bypasses the tissues.
What tube carries smoke in and out of the lungs?
The capillary is the smallest of the blood vessels. It is the site of gas exchange between the blood and the tissues.
