Alveoli- these are the small sac-like structures where gas exchange occurs with the blood. Its creates an ideal site for gas exchange between the air in the lungs and the blood in the capillaries.
Diffusion is the process that allows the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli. This process is one of passive transport.
The organ that has alveoli wrapped in capillaries for gas exchange is the lungs. Alveoli are tiny air sacs where oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled. This efficient gas exchange process is facilitated by the close proximity of the alveoli to the surrounding capillaries.
Diffusion
Gas exchange does not occur in the pleura. The pleura is a membrane that lines the outside of the lungs and inside of the chest cavity. Gas exchange, where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is removed, happens in the alveoli of the lungs.
Alveoli in the lungs provide the greatest surface area for gas exchange in the body. They are tiny air sacs that are surrounded by capillaries where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged during respiration. The numerous alveoli increase the total surface area available for this gas exchange process.
Yep.
Gas exchange occurs across the respiratory membrane of the alveoli; however, the short answer is simply alveoli
The bronchi are the tubes that actually carry the air to the lungs, they have a different function than the alveoli which function in the process for gas exchange.
The gas occurs by simple diffusion through the cells.
Alveoli
At the boundary between the capillaries and the alveoli, gas exchange occurs through a process called diffusion. Oxygen from the alveoli moves into the blood within the capillaries, while carbon dioxide from the blood is released into the alveoli to be exhaled. This exchange happens across the thin walls of the alveoli and capillaries, which are composed of single layers of cells, facilitating efficient transfer due to the concentration gradients of the gases.
Alveoli is where gas exchange occurs.
