What makes the concentration of oxygen low in the alveolus?
Oxygen diffuses into the blood capillary
Does carbon dioxide pass through the mothers blood or the baby's blood?
Carbon dioxide travels through both their bloods. All the cells of the baby and of the mother respire and produce carbon dioxide, which diffuses into the blood and circulates with it. In the mother, it eventually reaches her lungs where it diffuses into the alveoli and is breathed out. The baby has no functioning lungs, so when carbon dioxide rich blood travels through the umbilicus to the placenta, the carbon dioxide diffuses across to the mother's blood vessels, whence it proceeds to her lungs as before.
What is the type of respiration where oxygen rich blood diffuses the oxygen into tissue cells called?
Internal respiration
The exchange of gases between alveolar air and blood is due to?
it diffuses thru the alveolar cappilary membrane
Where does the external respiration process take place?
External respiration occurs in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveolar air. Internal respiration occurs in the metabolizing tissues, where oxygen diffuses out of the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the cells.
What diffuses from the kidney back into the blood stream?
Water diffuses from the kidney back into the blood stream.
What gases are exchanged in the repitory ystem?
Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli of the lungs into the blood. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli of the lung where is will be exhaled.
Oxygen diffuses into the blood from the?
o2 diffuses into blood from alveoli of lungs through the respiratory membran.
What does oxygen diffuse into?
Oxygen diffuses from any place there is a lot of it to any place where there is less. In the body, it diffuses from the air in the alveoli of the lungs, through the lung and capillary walls and into the blood, where it is taken up by the haemoglobin of the red blood cells. When the bood reaches the body tissues it diffuses out of the blood and into the cells.
Which gas diffuses from the tissue to the blood?
Co2
What structure diffuses nutrients from the mother's blood into the embryo's blood?
Food is definitely one structure which diffuses from the mother's blood to the embryo. I need to find out another one to answer my question?
How does ventilation help maintain a difference in oxygen concentration?
As it circulates, the oxygen diffuses into the blood via the alveolar wall, this then transfer the oxygen to the red blood cells, as diffusion occurs at this point, oxygen diffuses from a high concentration to a low concentration, so the oxygen diffuses into the blood whereas the CO2 diffuses into the alveoli and then out of the mouth when we expire.
What is a specific molecule that diffuses into the blood at the lungs?
oxygen
Which organ in your body diffuses oxygen into your blood stream?
your lungs
The part of blood plasma that diffuses out of the capillaries is the?
Tissue Fluid
Does carbon dioxide diffuse from the capillaries to the alveoli?
yes while oxygen then diffuses into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses out. it's a chain
What does the oxygen molecule do when it is in the alveoli?
It diffuses into the blood capillaries surrounding the alveoli.
