Trace the pathway of carbon dioxide gas in the blood from the inferior vena cava until it leaves the blood stream?
Wiki User
∙ 12y ago
The structures that venous blood cells (with carbon dioxide) pass through are:
inferior vena cava
right atrium (out through tricuspid valve)
right ventricle (out through semilunar valve)
pulmonary artery/arterioles/capillaries
alveoli in the lung
Including the heart valves, the path is from the inferior vena cava, where it will be pulled into the right atrium. It is pushed into the right ventricle through the right atrioventricular valve (a tricuspid valve) then pumped from the right ventricle through the pulmonary valve(semilunar) into the pulmonary artery and sent to the lungs, where it will pass through pulmonary arterioles and pulmonary capillaries to reach the alveoli, in which the carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood and is expelled from the lungs during exhalation.
The complete path out of the body is:
Inferior Vena Cava-Right Atrium-Right Atrioventricular valve-Right Ventricle-Pulmonary Semilunar valve-Pulmonary Artery-Pulmonary arteriole-Pulmonary capillaries-alveolar sacs-tertiary bronchioles-secondary bronchioles-primary bronchioles-bronchus-trachea-larynx-pharynx-epiglottis-mouth, or nostrils via the nasal cavity.

through the Tricuspid valve
through the Right Ventricle
through the Pulmonary Valve
through the pulmonary artery
to the pulmonary arterioles,
to the pulmonary capillaries
where it is released into the lungs and exhaled out

Why does carbon dioxide leave the cell during cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide leaves a cell during cellular respiration because it is a waste to the human body and other mammals. If carbon dioxide remains in the blood for too long, the individual will pass out. When carbon dioxide leaves the cell, it leaves our body when we exhale.
How are leaves adapted to absorb carbon-dioxide?
Leaves are adapted to absoring starch by having a layer at the bottom of the leaf called the stoma which is where carbon dioxide is absorbed and oxygen is released
Which part of the leaves need carbon dioxide?
stoma
During photosynthesis plants use what as a carbon source to produce sugars for energy?
The Carbon source for photosynthesis is the air
What is green brown and red and have no roots stem or leaves?
carbon dioxide
How do carbon reaches in leaves?
because leaves or plants absorb the carbon dioxide
How does carbon dioxide enter the alveoli?
Carbon dioxide ;D and carbon dioxide leaves it. 8)
How does carbon dioxide enter the leaves?
stomata
What features of a leaf provides carbon dioxide?
None. Leaves "breathe" in Carbon Dioxide, and put out Oxygen.
What is carbon dioxide hydrogen and oxygen used for in leaves?
food making and plants breathe carbon dioxide
Why does carbon dioxide leave the cell during cellular respiration?
Carbon dioxide leaves a cell during cellular respiration because it is a waste to the human body and other mammals. If carbon dioxide remains in the blood for too long, the individual will pass out. When carbon dioxide leaves the cell, it leaves our body when we exhale.
How does carbon dixiode enter green leaves?
Carbon dioxide enter the leaves through the called stomata found under the leaves.
How do plant leaves get enough carbon dioxide to carry out photosynthesis?
they get carbon dioxide by small holes called stomata.
In what form is carbon Dioxide taken by plant to produce their food?
Carbon dioxide is absorbed as a gas by the leaves of the plant.
Leaves absorb carbon dioxide from the air?
yes
What gas from the air do leaves use?
Carbon dioxide
What happens to carbon dioxide when it leaves the tissues?
It is released
