What happens to carbon dioxide in the blood that flows through the capillaries in the alveoli?
alveoli take co2 from your blood and turns it into gas
Where in the lung does exchange of O2 and CO2 take place?
It takes place between the alveoli and the blood capillaries
Where does the oxygens exchange take place?

blood take oxygen from blood.
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the alveoli?
oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide
What happens to the carbon dioxide in blood when it flows through the capillaries in the alveoli?
The CO2 is diffused back into the alveoli, where, by the diaphragm, is pushed back into the environment by atmospheric pressure.
What happens to carbon dioxide in the blood when it flows through the capillaries in the alveoli?
The CO2 is diffused back into the alveoli, where, by the diaphragm, is pushed back into the environment by atmospheric pressure.
What happens to amount of fresh air entering alveoli when tidal volume declines?
What happens is that the air volume entering the alveoli also decreases. Tidal volume is the quantity of air that enters and leaves the lungs during quiet breathing.
What happens to Carbon dioxide in the blood that flows in the alveoli?
it filters your lungs which causes you to exhale
