capillaries are the site of exchange of materials where the needed substances in the tissue diffuse into them from the capillary through diffusion.while the metabolic wa
ste from tissues diffuse into the capillary and taken away.the capillaries have a big surface area and their cells is one cell thick to enable diffusion to take place fast.

Capillaries exchange food oxygen and what?
They exchange water, oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as nutrient and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between the circulatory system and tissues occurs at the?
In the lungs - specifically, the alveoli.
What stimulates blood to release oxygen to tissues?
Blood releases its oxygen into the tissues at the capillary level.
Interpret the function of the respiratory system by stating what it does?
To bring about the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxides between the blood, the air, and tissues.
A group of organs and tissues that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide between your body and the environment?
respiratory system
Exchange of gases occurs between capillaries and what structure?
Exchange of carbon-di-oxide for oxygen takes place between capillaries and tissues.The exchange of gases occur through diffusion.In Lungs, oxygen from inhaled air in the alveolar space moves into the RBCs in the capillaries and the carbon-di-oxide moves form the RBCs in the capillaries to the alveolar space which is exhaled during respiration.In other tissues, the Oxygen is given to the tissues and carbon-di-oxide is taken from the tissues into the blood.Many gases can be exchanged across the capillaries but the exchange of oxygen and carbon-di-oxide occurs normally in the body.
What system is a group of organs and tissues that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide?
chloplast
How do capillaries exchange substances between the blood and the tissues?
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
What is a group of organs and tissues in the lungs that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide?
the air sacks
Gas exchange is also known as?
Respiration is a process of gas exchange. Respiration is necessary to supply cells with oxygen for metabolism and to remove the waste by product carbon dioxide.
Do capillaries exchange food and oxygen for wastes and carbon dioxide from the tissues?
Yes, they do. Just as humans do.
Which artery carries blood to the tissues?
All arteries carry blood to the arterioles, which in turn carry blood to the capillaries, where oxygen exchange in the tissues takes place.
