What system provides gas exchange between blood and air?
Capillary system is where gas exchange occurs
Where does gas exchange between the air and the blood occur?
respritory system
What are the sacs called in the repiratory system?
The air sacks which provide the surface through which gas exchange occurs are called alveoli.
Is the nervous system an organelle where photosynthesis occurs?
No it a system in your body which includes nerves and other sensory organs. An organelle is a a small thing inside your cells that have different functions.
What are pulmonary diseases?
Pulmonary is a term relating to the respiratory system; pulmonary diseases include empyhsema, bronchitis & asthma.
What is the elastic unit of the respiratory system where gas exchange occurs?
Alveoli is where gas exchange occurs.
What does the pulmonary system do?
Pulmonary system- contains tissues and organs specialized for taking in oxygen and removing carbon dioxide from our bodies and for exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What are the small sacs at the end of the bronchi-oles where gas exchanged occurs called?
In the pulmonary system, the Alveoli are the small sacs at the end of the bronchioles which are connected to the bronchus. It is within these sacs that gas exchange occurs.
Definition of respiratory system?
a system of organs that exchange gases with the enviroment
What system provides gas exchange between blood and air?
Capillary system is where gas exchange occurs
Where does gas exhange in the vascular system?
The vascular system, or respiratory system, deals with the exchange of oxygen to carbon dioxide. This exchange occurs in the alveoli sacs
How does the gas exchange system and the circulatory system work together?
it occurs through the heart
What are some organs of the circulatory system?
The components of the circulatory system include the heart, blood, and blood vessels. The pulmonary circulation is also part of this complex system.
What system is a group of organs and tissues that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide?
chloplast
Animals that use lungs for breathing have this type of circulatory system?
Animals that breathe using lungs have a pulmonary circulatory system. In this system, the lungs are dependent on the flow of blood from the systemic circulatory system, which works in tandem with the pulmonary system to provide blood flow to these vital organs.
Where in your respiratory system does the exchange of O2 happen?
Gaseous exchange occurs in the alveoli (singular = alveolus) of the lungs.
How the circulatory system is linked t the respiratory system?
Basically, they are linked to each other. The circulatory system gets oxygen from the lungs, while the respiratory system gets blood from the circulatory system necessary to feed its cells. The pulmonary circulatory system is part of the cardiovascular system in which oxygen-depleted blood is pumped away from the heart, through the pulmonary artery, to the lungs and returned, oxygenated, to the heart through the pulmonary vein. Oxygen deprived blood from the superior and inferior vena cava, enters the right atrium of the heart and flows through the tricuspid valve (right atrioventricular valve) into the right ventricle, from which it is then pumped through the pulmonary semilunar valve into the pulmonary artery to the lungs. Gas exchange occurs in the lungs, whereby CO2 is released from the blood, and oxygen is absorbed. The pulmonary vein returns the now oxygen-rich blood to the left atrium.
