What happens to blood when it flows through a capillaries?
As blood flows through capillaries, it exchanges nutrients, wastes, and oxygen with body tissues. This transfer is accomplished via diffusion.
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 blood as it passes through the pulmonary capillaries?
There is an exchange with oxygen, nutrients, and carbon dioxide and water vapor.
What is the velocity of the blood as it flows through the capillaries?
The average velocity of the blood as it flows through a capillary is 0.00047 m/s.
The three main pathways through which a blood flows?
the three pathways through wich blood flows are the arteries,veins,and capillaries
What is the velocity of blood in the capillaries?
Blood flows slowly through capillaries. This speed allows for increased efficiency of diffusion of materials.
As blood enters a nephron it flows through a network of capillaries known as a?
Glomerulus
From capillaries the blood flows into what?
Generally blood from the capillaries flows into venules which lead into larger veins and is then pumped to the heart. However there are a few exceptions where capillaries lead from one artery to another artery, but this only happens in the glomerular capsule of the kidney and the hypothalamus.
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.
From Where does blood flow to the capillaries and where the blood flows further into?
the oxygenated blood flows from arteries to capillaries and after the exchange of material in capillaries and tissues it goes to vein and veins carries this deoxygenated blood to heart.
What are the pathways through which the blood flows?
