Gas and nutrient exchange occur in the?
capillaries
What vessels is responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells?
The capillaries are responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells.
In which type of vessels does gas exchange between blood and tissues occur to the greatest extent-veins?
The capillaries
What blood vessels do the exchange of gases occur?
the blood vessel which allows gas exchange to occur is the capillaries
What are capillaries and what are their functions?
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels. They connect arteries and veins. They are the site of gas, waste, and nutrient exchange between the blood and the body tissues.
What are capillaries for?
The capillaries are where the gas and nutrient exchanges occur. Because in a closed circulation system the blood can't go outside the vessels, it must go to the capillary beds where it is about 1 cell thick to have diffusion. Alveoli in lungs are covered by capillaries to allow gas exchange to happen. The capillaries are most abundant of all the blood vessels, because most part of your body requires oxygen, and capillaries are where it can be given to cells.
Where is the actuall gas exchange in the breathing?
through the blood vessels
Where does the exchange of gasses occur?
The exchange of gases occurs at the ends of the airways in the lungs. Here tiny sacs called alveoli connect with tiny blood vessels and here exhaust gas [carbon dioxide] is exchanged for fresh gas [oxygen].
Where in the respiratory tract does gas exchange occur?
The gas occurs by simple diffusion through the cells.
In what vessels does gas exchange occur?
Gas exchange occurs in the capillaries which are the smallest blood vessels in the body. Each artery that comes from the heart is surrounded by capillaries so that they can take it to the various parts of the body. This is why whenever we get a paper cut and we bleed this blood is from the capillaries which branch off in to smaller veins and arteries and then eventually into capillaries.
How does gas exchange occur in sponges?
gills
Where does the majority of gas exchange occur?
the alveolus
