In the lungs oxygen from air enters the?
blood
What are the place where the oxygen rich air enters the body?
Oxygen rich air enters the body through the lungs.
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.
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.
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.
How does oxygen enter the stream?
Oxygen enters the blood stream through the air sacs in you lungs.
What happens if bacteria are not trapped before air enters the lungs?
You get pneumonia
What organ allows oxygen that passes from them into capilleries?
The lungs. Oxygen enters our lungs as part of the air that we breathe. It goes to the blood vessels deep in our lungs and then on to all parts of our body.
What happens when excess air enters your mouth or nostrils when asleep?
lungs work more.
How does air enters the body?
Air enters the body when you inhale (Breathe in) air enters through the mouth and into the lungs. and then exhale (Breathe out) carbon dioxide (CO2)
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.
Does oxygen and other gases enters the nose and travel down to the windpipe but only the oxygen enters the lungs?
They all enter the lung ... but the only one that quickly enters the blood is oxygen. Because oxygen is the one gas that has a higher partial pressure in "lung air" than its partial pressure in the "lung blood". Note that the blood's CO2 pressure is higher than the air in the lungs, so CO2 comes out of the blood into the lung's air.
