This takes place in the alveoli. Oxygen from air enters the alveoli and diffuses through to be absorbed into the blood flowing through the capillaries surrounding the alveolus. The carbon dioxide dissolved in the blood flowing through the capillaries around the alveolus, will diffuse through the blood and enter the alveolus to be excreted through the lungs.
Your lungs send oxygenated blood to your heart. Carbon dioxide is carried to the lungs through blood and sent out the lungs. If you have lungs that are sick you will have trouble getting enough oxygen to your body and you will feel tired and unable to exercise or move well.
You have millions of tiny alveoli, where from the exchange of gases takes place. (The number of alveoli is about 170,000,000.) The total surface area of the alveoli is about 1100 square feet. The alveoli are present at the terminal end of the bronchioles in your lungs.
Inhaled and exhaled by breathing, gas exchange in the long-tissue
Oxygen enters and carbon dioxide leaves the blood at the alveoli. The capillaries surrounding the alveoli accomplish this transfer by the process of diffusion.
Alveoli of the lungs.
lungs
Oxygen and carbon dioxide easily pass back and forth between the alveoli and the blood through the capillaries.
Two substances that pass into the blood include oxygen and carbon dioxide. The blood carries fresh oxygen to the cells and tissues and removes waste materials.
Plants use carbon dioxide in photosynthesis: Carbon dioxide + water ---> oxygen + glucose 6CO2 + 6H2O ---> C6H12O6 + 6O2 Animals don't photosynthesise. Answer: We use carbon dioxide to control the pH of our blood. If the level gets too low we tend to pass out. This can be caused by hyperventilation or by breathing pure oxygen. Low blood CO2 levels increase blood pH (it becomes more alkaline), this constricts the blood vessels which supply the brain, and inhibits the transport of electrolytes in the nervous system. The body sees this as a bad thing
diffusion
The blood is mainly made of Platelets, Red Blood Cells, and White Blood Cells. The red blood cells carry oxygen and carbon dioxide. Nutrients are carried through the blood, and waste is taken away via the blood. Hormones also pass through the blood.
No. Your lungs pass oxygen into the blood and also pass carbon dioxide to the air outside your body. Oxygen combines with carbon to form carbon dioxide. This happens in our muscles, among other places.

oxygen and carbon dioxide
hiya I think the answer is oxygen and carbon dioxide
blood takes oxygen and gives carbon dioxide to the lungs
Oxygen diffuses into the blood in the lungs and binds to the hemoglobin since the oxygen concentration is high and the carbon dioxide concentration is low. The blood is pumped to the body. The hemoglobin releases the oxygen to the tissues because here, the concentration of oxygen is low and that of carbon dioxide is high.

Both Glucose and Carbon Dioxide don't pass through the red blood cells but stay in the yellow watery part of the blood called plasma
No you dont. Carbon dioxide contains 1 part carbon 2parts oxygen. You dont put out oxygen only carbon.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are both gases, which makes them easier to pass through the cell. In addition, the site of trading the respiratory gases occur at alveoli, which has capillaries attached to it. The membranes in these regions are each one cell thick, which enables the respiratory gases to pass through easier. When the blood reaches the lungs, simple diffusions then take the carbon dioxide out of the cell and oxygenates the blood.
