What is the path af oxygen from outside the body to the alveoli?

Air enters trachea (wind pipe) via nostrils. From trechea it goes into left and right bronchus. It is then channeled into progressively narrower channels and finally it reaches alveoli where gaseous exchange occurs. This whole event is assisted by movement of diaphragm and of ribs.

What sequence correctly shows the path of carbon dioxide during respiration?
External respiration is the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs, body and the outside environment; the breathing process known as inhalation and exhalation. Upon inhalation, air enters the body and is warmed, moistened, and filtered as it passes to the alveoli of the lungs. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli to the bloodstream, then into the red blood cells. Simultaneously, carbon dioxide in the blood is diffused from the blood to the alveoli, and exhalation expels the carbon dioxide from the alveoli.
What is the path of an oxygen molecule when it enters the human body?
Nostrils-Pharynx-Trachea(Wind Pipe)-Bronchi-Bronchioles-Alveoli
Do alveoli have C shaped rings around them?
Alveoli are surrounded by capillaries so that the oxygen can diffuse into the blood and carbon dioxide can diffuse out. I think it depends on the shape of the alveoli to the path of the capillary.
Is the alveoli comprised of millions of cells?
No, alveoli consist of flattened epithelial cells which make the diffusion rate faster (by the reducing the distance the path that oxygen has to diffuse through).
What is the process of oxygen flowing through the alveoli's walls?
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.
Which sequence correctly shows the path of carbon dioxide respiration?
body cells, capillaries, alveoli
What is the path that a molecule of oxygen takes as it moves from the air outside into the alveoli?
Oro (or Naso)Pharynx, Palate, Pharynx. Epiglottis, Hypopharynx, Larynx. Trachea, Carina, Right or left mainstem bronchus. Bronchi, Bronchioles, Alveoli. If you are using a textbook for a course, the terms may be a little different than what I have listed here.
How is carben dioxides path different from oxygens path?
we inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide. Oxygen enters the respiratory system through the mouth and the nose then to larynx-trachea- bronchi-bronchial tubes-lungs-alveoli-diffuses through the capillaries into the arterial blood, veins releases its carbon dioxide into the alveoli, then the carbon dioxide follows the same path out of the lungs when you exhale.
What diagram show the path taken by oxygen from the air inspired air passing to the blood?
Trachea bronchus bronchiole alveoli haemoglobin
How does the cardiovascular system distribute oxygen to cells throughout the body?
Well you see, the respiratory and cardiovascular system work together. The oxygen moves throughout the path. It then ends up in the alveoli and sinks into the capillaries surrounding it. I think you can take it from there since the oxygen goes into the blood in the capillaries. Hope this helped!
What is the Path of eggs from the ovaries to the outside of your body?
fimbraie
Briefly describe the path that oxygen follows in your respiratory system and your circulatory system?
Nose, Pharynx, Larynx, trachea, bronchi, Lungs, Aveoli, Capillary walls, into blood, Left Atrium, Left Ventricle, Aorta, Body.
