Inhaled oxygen will diffuse through the walls of the lungs. It will also diffuse through the walls of red blood cells so it can be carried all over the body.
Inhaled oxygen diffuses through the walls of the alveoli in the lungs into the surrounding capillaries, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells for transport to tissues in the body.
Yes arteries do carry blood away from the heart. They do this to feed the smaller tubes such as veins and capilaries. Then these smaller tubes transport blood to the body to give it oxygen and the nutrients it needs.
Salbutamol is a medication commonly used to treat asthma and other conditions that cause narrowing of the airways, such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). It works by relaxing the muscles in the airway walls, allowing them to open up and improve breathing. It can be taken through inhalation or as a tablet.
The old building showed signs of deterioration with cracked walls and peeling paint.
As people age, the walls of veins may become less elastic and more rigid due to changes in the structural proteins within the vein walls. This can cause the veins to narrow or become smaller in diameter. Additionally, the accumulation of fatty deposits or plaques within the veins can contribute to their narrowing.
The old factory stood derelict and abandoned, its windows shattered and walls crumbling.

Alveoli in the lungs.
The answer is diffusion. The inhaled oxygen passes into the alveoli and then diffuses through the capillaries into the arterial blood. Meanwhile, the waste-rich blood from the veins releases its carbon dioxide into the alveoli. The carbon dioxide follows the same path out of the lungs when you exhale.
Yes, Oxygen diffuses through the wall of the alveoli then through the walls of the capillaries. :)
Oxygen diffuses from any place there is a lot of it to any place where there is less. In the body, it diffuses from the air in the alveoli of the lungs, through the lung and capillary walls and into the blood, where it is taken up by the haemoglobin of the red blood cells. When the bood reaches the body tissues it diffuses out of the blood and into the cells.
Probably in the tiny "balloons" called alveoli (singular, alveolus). Each has its walls filled with capillaries that bring in blood rich in carbon dioxide/low in oxygen. The carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveoli (then exhaled) while the oxygen just inhaled diffuses from each alveolus into the capillaries and is carried throughout the body. The heart pumps the blood constantly and permits this exchange in the lungs.
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide happens in between the alveoli and then through the walls of the capillaries and then into the blood. The oxygen is then picked up by hemoglobin in the red blood cells and sent to all body cells. While this is happening the carbon dioxide is transported back from the body cells and into the blood. It diffuses through the walls of the capillaries and into the walls of the alveoli. Carbon dioxide leaves your body whenever you breathe out.
The alveoli provide large surface area for the exchange of gases between the blood and the air. Each alvoeli is surrounded by many capillaries(tiny blood vessels). The very thin walls and large surface area of the alveoli and numerous capillaries surrounding them enable gases to be exchanged quickly and efficiently. Oxygen in the inhaled air diffuses from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries. The blook then carries the oxygen to the cells in the other parts of the body. The waste product of respiration, CO2 , diffuses from the blood to the lungs through the capillaries surrounding alveoli. It leaves the body through bronchi and trachea when you exhale( breathe out).
The oxygen diffuses through the thin lining of the alveoli into the blood. It moves from the area of high oxygen concentration (the alveoli) to the area of low oxygen concentration (the blood).
Oxygen passes from the blood into organs through the wall of capillaries.
The alveolus (plural = alveoli) is the tiny air sac in the lung where gas exchange occurs. Oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses through the walls of the alveoli and adjacent capillaries into the red blood cells. The oxygen is then carried by the blood to the body tissues. Carbon dioxide produced by the body's metabolism returns to the lung via the blood. It then diffuses across the capillary and alveolar walls into the air to be removed from the body with expiration.The alveoli have a structure specialized for efficient gaseous exchange:Walls are extremely thin.They have a large surface area in relation to volume.They are fluid lined enabling gases to dissolve.They are surrounded by numerous capillaries.
