What passes from the air inside the alveolus into the blood?
suger
What are two gases that enter and exit from the alveolus?
It is carbon dioxide which is collected from different organs of the body by blood
What makes the concentration of oxygen low in the alveolus?
Oxygen diffuses into the blood capillary
Why carbon dioxide out of the blood into the alveolus?
because it is a waste-product and is poisonous in excessive concentrations.
What is the function of the moisture layer inside an 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.

Why is the distance between the air in an alveolus and the blood in an alveolar capillary is less than 11000th of a millimetre?
Around the lungs,the blood is separated from the air inside each alveolus by only two cell layers; the cells making up the wall of the alveolus and the capillary wall itself. This is a distance of less than a thousandth of a millimetre. Because the air in the alveolus has a higer concentration of oxygen than the blood entering the capillary network, oxygen diffuses from the air across the wall of the alveolus and into the blood. That is why the distance is important.
Will O2 diffuse from air to blood or from blood to the alveolar air?
It will be absorbed from the air into your lungs. Then when it reachs the alveolus it will diffuse from the alveolus into the blood capillaries down an oxygen concentration through diffusion where it will combine with the heamoglobin in the Red Blood Cells.
Where does carbon dioxide go after passing through the blood?
the alveolus

What is a sentence for the word alveolus?
(Alveoli are the jaw sockets for teeth, or the individual air sacs in the lungs.) "In childhood, more than one tooth can occupy an alveolus." "In each alveolus of the lung, gases are exchanged with the capillary blood."
What is the of Alveolus?

Because there is more oxygen in an alveolus than in the blood around it oxygen diffuses?
When there is more oxygen in an alveolus than in the blood around it oxygen diffuses from the capillaries to the veins. This is due to the high concentration of oxygen in the alveoli.
What artery or veins carry oxygen-poor blood to the lungs?
Pulmonary alveolus!
Place where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged between air and blood?
alveolus
Gas exchange in the lungs occurs between blood in capillaries and air in?
alveolus
