What direction do particles randomly go?
If they go randomly they go in any direction.
What is the main unit of oxygen exchange in the human lung?
the capillary's, they are based on the alveoli and they pass oxygen from the alveoli sacks through to the blood stream- ready to go to the heart and be pumped around the body
What is the of Alveolus?
The alveolus is a air sac that holds the oxygen. It squashes the oxygen molecules so they diffuse from the alveolus into the capillary. From there, they attach themselves to deoxygenated Red Blood Cells. The oxygen in the blood plasma are also squashed and are diffused. They go from the capillary to the alveoli to get breathed out. The alveoli transfers the oxygen to the lung capillaries and oxygenates the blood, then it is breathed out as Carbon Dioxide.
When the oxygen goes into the bloodstream it goes into arteries veins or capillaries?
Oxygen moves into the lungs to the alveoli in the lungs into capillaries into pulmonary veins to the heart then to arteries that go through the rest of the body.
How does the blood get oxygen?
by suking it
The diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
The respiratory system uses the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. You inhale the oxygen which goes through the alveoli and thew capillaries in the lungs and you exhale it through the same section you inhale from. Therefore they diffuse together.
Where does air go after you breath it in?
It's taken into the lungs, where the alveoli absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide. When you breathe out, the carbon dioxide dissipates into the atmophere.
Do oxygen and carbon dioxide go back and forth between the circulatory and respiratory systems?
In the alveoli Alveolus (also called air sac) is the capillary-rich sac in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place by diffusion. The oxygen poor blood goes from the right ventricle and into the lungs where the co2 is traded for Oxygen in the alveoli and back through the heart and out to the body.The correct term is alveoli. but they are referred to as sacs, and that is where the exchange of gases take placeRead more: Where_does_gas_exchange_take_place_in_the_lungs
Where does oxygen go after its in your mouth?
After the mouth (or nose), oxygen (as part of the air) goes down your trachea, into the bronchi, and through the bronchioli, into the alveoli, where it enters the blood and gets taken via the blood to the various parts of your body.
What role does oxygen play in the body?
The oygen is an important part of your body when the nutriens go into miniture particles.
What direction do gas particles travel?
That depends. If the gas particle is heavier than the surrounding ones, it will typically fall and be close to the ground. Hydrogen, being the lightest, goes up. Gas particles go in every direction, generally.
How does oxygen go round the body?
Oxygen from the air is absorbed through the alveoli of the lungs and attaches itself to Haemoglobin in the bloodstream, becoming "Oxyhaemoglobin" which is bright red in colour and unstable in its nature. Transported by the blood it is then absorbed by the cells to be used by them.
