Describe what happens in the alveoli sacs?
When we inhale in and out oxygen moves from the alveoli to blood carbon dioxide moves from blood to alveoli.
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
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the alveoli?
oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide
What happens to Carbon dioxide in the blood that flows in the alveoli?
it filters your lungs which causes you to exhale
In the lungs is carbon dioxide more concentrated in the alveoli or in the blood?
In the lungs, carbon dioxide is concentrated more in the blood. The alveoli keeps the carbon dioxide at a lower level than in the blood.
Does the exchange of carbon dioxide depend on the concentration of oxygen in the alveoli and the blood?
No. It depends on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli and the blood. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli is higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, so carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli diffuses out of the capillaries into the alveoli of the lungs and is exhaled.
What system allows for the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen between the air and the blood?
It happens in the alveoli of the lungs
Which gas passes out of the blood to the alveoli?
carbon dioxide
Does carbon dioxide movers from the blood to the alveoli?
yes
Where the carbon dioxide and blood exchanged in the body?
Alveoli
How does the body exchange carbon dioxide in the blood?
alveoli
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.
