What else can I help you with?
Why does blood get pumped into the lungs?
It needs to get oxygen from the lungs, or drop off carbon dioxide to exhaled out of the body.
What is dropped off at the lungs by the blood vesseles?
CO2, Carbon Dioxide.
Where does the CO2 go?
It is brought back to the heart to be pumped through the lungs to be exhaled.
When blood travels to the lungs what gets dropped off?
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
What do red blood cells drop off at the lungs?
Actually, they don't drop off anything at the lungs. They do pick up oxygen. Carbon dioxide is dropped off but it is carried dissolved in the blood itself.
Where does blood drop off carbon dioxide?
Blood drops off carbon dioxide at the lungs, where it diffuses out of the bloodstream into the alveoli and is then exhaled from the body through the process of respiration. Carbon dioxide is carried from the tissues to the lungs by red blood cells in the form of bicarbonate ions.
Is there something given off when exhale?
Carbon dioxide is given off in your exhaled breath.
Is there something given off when you exhale?
Carbon dioxide is given off in your exhaled breath.
Where is the location of bronchioles?
Bronchioles are located in the lungs and are part of the respiratory system. They are smaller airways that branch off from the bronchi and carry air to the alveoli for gas exchange.
Can you really die from hanging?
Yes. Either by choking when the blood to the brain and the oxygen to the lungs are cut off. Or by the snapping of the neck when executed on a scaffold and dropped through a trapdoor.
Where are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the body?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the lungs. During inhalation, oxygen is taken in from the air into the lungs and then diffuses into the bloodstream. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste product produced by cells, diffuses from the blood into the lungs to be exhaled out of the body during exhalation.
What are the three main parts of the lungs?
The three main parts of the lungs are the bronchi (airways that carry air in and out of the lungs), the bronchioles (smaller airways that branch off from the bronchi), and the alveoli (tiny air sacs where gas exchange takes place).
