thay are both thick cells :)
What are alveoli surrounded by?
the blood surround Alveoli in order to gas exchange between the Alveoli and red blood cell.
What are the very small blood vessels that cover the alveoli?
The tiny blood vessels that surround the alveoli arecalled alveolar capillaries
The are surrounded by blood capillaries?
Alveoli
What are Blood capillaries surrounded by?
alveoli
What surrounds the blood capillaries?
Alveoli
What blood vessel takes blood around the alveoli?
The capillaries carry the blood around the alveoli.
Do capillaries surround alveoli?
The alveoli are the sites of respiration: the oxygen in them provided by the inhaled air diffuses into the blood cells that flow through the capillaries. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood and into the alveoli so it can be exhaled. The capillaries provide a way for the blood to reach the alveoli. Hope this helps
What is the name of the tiny blood vessels that surround the alveoli in the lungs?
These are called the alveoli capillaries.
What does the oxygen molecule do when it is in the alveoli?
It diffuses into the blood capillaries surrounding the alveoli.
The blood vessels surrounding the alveoli are?
capillaries
What is the body organ which oxygen passes through to capillaries?
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
