What else can I help you with?
Does blood pick up oxygen in the capillaries of the lungs?
Yes it does
Where do blood cells pick up oxygen?
In the lungs, in the alveolar capillaries
What do capillaries pick up to bring to the lungs?
Capillaries surrounding cells pick up blood containing Water (dissolved in the plasma) and carbon dioxide (on the red blood cells) to bring it back through the veins and to the lungs. If I didn't answer your question or you want to ask more, post a message on my message board!
How does blood pick up oxygen from the lungs?
In the lungs, oxygen diffuses from the air sacs (alveoli) into the surrounding capillaries. These capillaries are thin-walled and have a large surface area for efficient gas exchange. The oxygen then binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, forming oxyhemoglobin, which is then carried by the bloodstream to the tissues.
Do capillaries pick up waste matericals from the cells?
yes
What is the substance that the capillaries absorb from the lungs?
The capillaries absorb oxygen at the lungs. This occurs near the alveoli.
O2 enters the capillaries and ----- from the capillaries passes in to the lungs?
Carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product of respiration, and is taken in the bloodstream to the capillaries outside the lungs, where the CO2 diffuses into the alveoli of the lungs.
The process in which blood capillaries pick up digested nutrients is?
absorption
What are the elastic sac-like structures in the lungs that are lined up with the capillaries?
They are called Alveoli.
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is a?
greater concentration of oxygen in the air sacs of the lungs than in the capillaries.
When Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs enters the heart at what structure?
The alveoli of the lungs are surrounded by capillaries. As the blood travels through the capillaries, the red blood cells become oxygenated and give up their load of CO2
How are the lungs and the capillaries connected?
The lungs contain air sacs called alveoli which are surrounded by blood capillaries to allow gaseous exchange.
