no.yes
What type of organ is in the respiratory system?
Your lungs, the diaphragm, alveoli, bronchi, and capillaries are all in the respiratory system
What human systems do the capillaries work with?
Circulatory system AND THE RESPIRATORY SYSTEM
What is the function of the capillaries in the human circulatory system?
The function of the capillaries in the circulatory system is to allow diffusion of wastes, oxygen, and nutrients to the tissues. The rest of the circulatory system is designed to move the blood to the capillaries so they can perform this function.
The process that exchanges gases across the walls of capillaries is?
the respiratory system
What is the function of epiglotts in respiratory system?
It prevents food from going to the respiratory system
Is obtaining oxygen part of the function of a skeleton?
No. It is part of the respiratory system not the skeletal system.
What are the components of the respiratory system?
Human respiratory system contain wind pipe or trachea, bronchus, bronchi, alveoli with blood capillaries. Lungs have air sacs or alveoli which are surrounded by capillaries which oxygenate, de-oxygenated blood.
Where in the body does the respiratory system connect to the circulatory system?
The respiratory and circulatory system connect in the lungs. At the alveoli, the air sacs are wrapped closely by capillaries to facilitate gas exchange.
Where in the respiratory system does gas exhcange occur?
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli in the respiratory system. The thin-walled structures allow diffusion of gases into and out of the capillaries.
Is the main function of the respiratory system?
The main function of the respiratory system is the exchange of gases. It brings in oxygen and elmiinates carbon dioxide.
