That is a natural physiological process that occurs in the lungs. It is usually referred to as gas exchange, where the blood is enriched with oxygen as it looses most of its load of carbon dioxide.

How does carbon dioxide get out of your blood?
Diffusion in the capillaries of the alveoli in the lungs.
The gas that goes into the blood stream through the blood is?
Oxygen is brought into the blood stream by inhalation. Carbon dioxide moves out of the cells, into the blood, and taken to the lungs to be exhaled. Oxygen in, carbon dioxide out.
How do capillaries exchange substances between the blood and the tissues?
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
Why does oxygen and carbon dioxide move from the alveoli into the blood stream?
To Filter the blood
How carbon dioxide get out your body?
carbon dioxide is expelled from cells into the blood stream, carried to the lungs, and exhaled.
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.
Where does the oxygen and carbon dioxide go after diffusion?
Oxygen (O2) goes to ur blood and carbon dioxide (CO2) goes back to the atmosphere.
Carbon dioxide enters the blood at the?
Capillaries. The diffusion of nutrients, oxygen, carbon dioxide and wastes take place in the capillaries. If you want to be more specific, it would be the venous ends of the capillaries where carbon dioxide enters the blood.
What is the direction of diffusion of gases at the capillaries near systemic cells?
oxygen out of blood, carbon dioxide into blood
Where does the oxygen enters and carbon dioxide leaves?
Oxygen must enter our blood and Carbon Dioxide must leave the blood through our lungs. They do so by diffusion between the cappillaries.
Does your body need carbon dioxide to use the nutrients in the food you eat?
No. Carbon Dioxide is a waste gas and is removed from the blood stream.
What substance is removed from the blood stream by the alveoli in the lungs?
Carbon dioxide and water
