What gas leaves the blood in pulmonary capillaries and enters the alveoli?
carbon dioxide
In the lungs oxygen from air enters what?
Oxygen in the lungs and passes through the alveoli, small sacs which allow gas exchange, and enters the blood to be pumped throughout the body.
What is the site where oxygen enters the pulmonary blood?
Oxygen enters the blood in the alveoli of the lungs
Where is the place oxygen enters the blood?
Oxygen enters the blood in the alveoli of the lungs
Where in the human body is o2 and co2 exchanged?
Human gas-exchange occurs in the lungs. Once air enters the lungs, diffusion of O2 and CO2 occurs in the alveoli.
What is alvoeli?
Alveoli is the plural of alveolus. This is the name of the microscopic air sacs in the lungs where inspired gas comes in contact with capillaries of the pulmonary circulation, allowing gas exchange between air and blood. Oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide leaves the blood inside the alveoli.
What are the parts of the lungs where oxygen enters the blood?
They are called alveoli
What is the site at which oxygen enters the pulmonary blood?
Oxygen enters the pulmonary blood in the capillaries of the alveoli -- the air sacs of the lungs.
What are the three stages of respiratory system?
The Process of the Respiratory System I am a Respiratory Therapist, so this is easy for me. During inspiration, air(gas) enters either through the nose or the mouth. As the air reaches the throat it becomes warmed and humidified and then passes into the trachea. It follows the trachea down into the bronchi then to the bronchioles(smaller versions of the bronchi) then into the alveoli. The alveoli are tiny sacs at the end of the bronchioles that look like clusters of grapes. After the air(gas) enters the alveoli, the oxygen from the air crosses the alveolar-capillary membrane and enters the blood. The blood then carries the oxygen to the organs of the body. During expiration, as the oxygen in the alveoli is entering the blood, carbon dioxide leaves the blood, enters the alveoli and is breathed out.
What are empty spaces in alveoli?
When air enters the empty alveoli in the lungs they become inflated. Now the blood vessels inside the alveoli can take oxygen from this air and put carbon dioxide into it.
The place where oxygen enters the blood?
In the alveoli whichvare at the end of the brochioles in the lungs.
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the alveoli?
oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide
