List the mechanisms for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood?
The mechanisms for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood are the lungs. The blood vessels are also needed for transporting oxygen and dispelling carbon dioxide.
What constant monitors levels of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood?
blood vessels
How does oxygen get from the atmosphere to cells in your toes and carbon dioxide get back from your toes?
Here the main function is of lungs and blood vessels.When we breathe oxygen from atmosphere get into our lungs and is absorbed into blood vessels in our lungs and these blood vessels transport oxygen to our toes from where carbon dioxide is absorbed into blood vessels and oxygen is provided to the tissues and this process goes on.
What brings oxygen to the blood?
When you inhale, your breath is drawn into your lungs, and is exchanged for Carbon Dioxide. The oxygen is 'traded' for Carbon Dioxide from your blood vessels, which leaves the body when you exhale. In other words, inhaling brings Oxygen to your blood.
What happens to blood when it is pumped into the thin blood vessels of the lungs?
When blood is pumped into the thin-walled blood vessels of the lungs, carbon dioxide is replaced with oxygen.

Explain how gases are exchanged at the alveoli?
The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen occurs in the alveoli. Each alveolus is surrounded by a network of small blood vessels. Like the alveoli, these small blood vessels have extremely thin walls. Blood that enters the vessels has a high level of carbon dioxide, which it picked up from the body tissues. It contains little oxygen. The carbon dioxide leaves the blood and moves through the walls of the blood vessels and alveoli into the lungs. Oxygen from the air in the lungs then passes through the walls of the alveoli and blood vessels and into the blood. The blood, now rich in oxygen, leaves the lungs and travels to the heart. The heart then pumps it to cells throughout the body. The carbon dioxide is finally expelled from the lungs when we exhale.By ichigo kurosaki
Why is the air sac surrounded by many tiny blood vessels?
It is to remove carbon dioxide and take in oxygen.
What do the blood vessels do for the body?
Carry oxygen and nutrients to organs and carbon dioxide and metabolites away from organs
What Blood which contains carbon dioxide and lack oxygen?
Venous blood is loaded with carbon dioxide and low in oxygen Arterial blood is rich in oxygen with little carbon dioxide
What type of blood has low oxygen and high carbon dioxide?
Deoxygenated blood is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide.
