What else can I help you with?
What is it called when your body picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide?
gas exchange
Where is oxygen gas exchange found in the body?
lunges
Which are the areas of gas exchange?
the alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries in the body
What is the body system that has a major role in gas exchange?
respiratory
What vessels is responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells?
The capillaries are responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells. These tiny blood vessels have thin walls that allow for the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients between the blood and the surrounding tissues.
What is insufficient gas exchange in the lungs called?
suffocation
The two breathing organs where gas exchange occurs in the body?
The alveoli
Why does the blood that flows to the fish's heart lack oxygen?
It's because a process called gas exchange has taken place in the fish's body. Oxygenated blood is pumped throughout the body, and the cells in the body take out oxygen and put in carbon dioxide (gas exchange). The blood returning to the heart of the fish is deoxygenated, and it will have to eventually go to the gills. There, the carbon dioxide (CO2) will get dumped into the water and oxygen (O2) will be picked up from the water at the same time in another gas exchange.
What is it called when you breathe through skin?
cutaneous gas exchange
Which is the main gas humans exhale?
Carbon dioxide (CO2). It is exchanged with Oxygen (O), which is inhaled. This exchange is called the Gas Exchange and it happens in the Aveolus.
What is the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide by the lungs called?
Gas exchange
What is breathing through skin by frogs called?
cutaneous gas exchange
