Oxygen diffuses into the blood capillary
Co2
o2 diffuses into blood from alveoli of lungs through the respiratory membran.
Water diffuses from the kidney back into the blood stream.
Gas diffuses in space.
In the alveoli of the lungs. This is where oxygen diffuses from the lungs into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the bloodstream and into the lungs.
Both oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse from body tissues into the blood.
carbon
Oxygen diffuses into cells. Carbon dioxide diffuses out.
RESPIRATORY system (lungs) brings oxygen-containing air into tiny air sacs called alveoli where the oxygen diffuses into the CIRCULATORY SYSTEM (blood vessels) and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood vessels which is then exhaled.
Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli of the lungs into the blood. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli of the lung where is will be exhaled.
Oxygen diffuses from any place there is a lot of it to any place where there is less. In the body, it diffuses from the air in the alveoli of the lungs, through the lung and capillary walls and into the blood, where it is taken up by the haemoglobin of the red blood cells. When the bood reaches the body tissues it diffuses out of the blood and into the cells.
The rate of diffusion of a gas is inversely related to the molecular weight of that gas. The lighter the gas, the faster it diffuses. Hydrogen is the lightest of all gases having a molecular weight of only 2. Thus it diffuses faster than all others.
