What cells make your Respiratory system healthy for humans?
alveoli
The thin moist membrane through which humans exchange gases is found in the what?
alveoli
How are the gills of a fish the same as alveoli?
The gills of a fish are like alveoli in that they give oxygen to blood and take the carbon dioxide from the blood along with other nutrients in the water. The alveoli in humans do the same thing except for they give nutrients fromt he air.
What is the name of the respiratory surface in humans?
The respiratory surface in humans is called the alveoli. These tiny air sacs in the lungs are where gas exchange occurs, with oxygen from the air we breathe passing into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide moving out.
Why do gas exchange surfaces need to be moist?
The gases are to dissolve and diffuse through.
What connects the respiratory and circulatory system?
Alveoli
Is a alveoli cell a plant or animal cell?
Neither, alveoli are the air sacs within the lungs in mammals (singular alveolus).
Where does the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and blood occur in humans?
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and blood occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. Oxygen from the air diffuses into the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli, while carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled.
Which animals have alveoli?
A snake has one lung. Humans can also live with only one lung. The one lung compensates for not having two.
What is the respiratory surface in humans called?
The respiratory surface in humans is called the alveoli. These tiny, balloon-like structures are located in the lungs and are the primary sites for gas exchange, allowing oxygen to enter the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to be expelled. The large surface area of the alveoli, along with their thin walls, facilitates efficient diffusion of gases.
What is the functional unit of lungs?
alveoli
What are the air sacs in your lungs?
Alveoli alveoli - air sacs in your lungs
