What happens to the oxygen level in blood as it moves through the lungs?
the oxygen releases carbon dioxide
Where does the blood absorb oxygen in human body?
the blood absorb oxygen in the lungs(cappilaries)
What happens when oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the lungs?
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide happens in between the alveoli and then through the walls of the capillaries and then into the blood. The oxygen is then picked up by hemoglobin in the red blood cells and sent to all body cells. While this is happening the carbon dioxide is transported back from the body cells and into the blood. It diffuses through the walls of the capillaries and into the walls of the alveoli. Carbon dioxide leaves your body whenever you breathe out.
How lungs get oxygen?
From the air drawn into the lungs by movement of the diaphragm
How wiil you describe the sequence of oxygen carbon dioxide and blood flow?
Blood flows in a circle from lungs to tissues and back. At the lungs O2 gets into the blood and CO2 gets out - at the tissues O2 leaves the blood and CO2 enters.
Why is it different when the composition of the air as it enters the lung compaerd to when it leaves the lung?
The air that enters the lungs is richer in oxygen when it enters the lungs. when it leaves it has more carbon dioxide and less oxygen as the lungs expel carbon dioxde and some unused oxygen.
When you breath in what happens to your lungs?
When you inhale, you breath in oxygen and your lungs get bigger.
Where does blood go AFTER it leaves the pulmonary arteries?
Blood leaves the pulmonary artery and travels into the lungs. In the lungs the blood releases carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen.
Why leaves are the lungs of the earth?
Because they exchange Carbon Dioxide into Oxygen
Do the lungs remove salt?
No. The lungs are where we exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen. Salt leaves the body through sweat and urine.
Why does air move in the lungs?
We breath because the oxygen/CO2 levels in our lungs are less than that of our surroundings. When you breathe in, your lungs expand and allow more oxygen to flow in. When you exhale, the CO2 levels in your lungs is greater than the your surroundings, so the CO2 leaves and the process repeats itself. This is called negative pressure breathing.
What happens to the oxygen levels in the blood as it moves through the lungs?
the oxygen releases carbon dioxide
What happens to the oxygen level in blood as it moves through the lungs?
the oxygen releases carbon dioxide
What happens to each of these gases in the lungs?
Two main gases exchange in the lungs: oxygen and carbon dioxide.
What happens to oxygen after it has been used by your body?
The oxygen goes into your lungs, then into your blood stream. Then carbon dioxide goes into your lungs and thats when you exhale. Oxygen changes to carbondioxide in your body.
What location in the body is carbon and oxygen exchanged?
This process happens in the lungs.
What kind of blood does lungs have?
Same blood as everywhere else. The difference is the gases in the blood: it enters the lungs low on oxygen and high in CO2, it leaves high in oxygen and low in CO2.
