The exchange of gasses is the function of the what?
alveoli.
What is the name for this movement of gasses at the surface of the alveolus?
respiration
How thin walls help the alveoli?
It allows for rapid diffusion of gasses.
The bronchi go directly into the alveoli.?
The passage way is Bronchi to Bronchioles then alveoli to alveolar ducts and exchange of gasses occurs in alveoli. So Answer is No..bronchi not goes directly to alveoli.
How does partial pressure affect the movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood?
Partial pressure affects the movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood because it is the main driving force for oxygen movement in the lungs.Oxygen passes from the air to the fluid within the alveoli, into the cell of the alveoli.
The structures within the lung that allow exchange of gasses with the bloodstream are known as?
alveoli?
Why are the membraines in the alveoli thin?
membranes must be thin for efficient diffusion of gasses.
Where in the lungs does diffusion take place and what gasses are diffused?
---------------------------- The exchange of gasses takes place across the Alveoli, which are air spaces surrounded by very small air sacs and have a rich supply of blood, because they are surrounded by capillaries. The lungs are made up of many alveoli which are the respiratory surface. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood in the capillaries into the alveoli.
What is the name of the tiny blood vessels that surround the alveoli in the lungs?
These are called the alveoli capillaries.
Tiny air sacs in the lungs?
They're called alveoli, they increase your lung's surface area and operate the exchange of gasses in and out of your blood. hope that helps.
Movement of air to and from the alveoli is called what?
Ventilation
What are responsible for gas exchange in the lungs?
The partial pressures of each of the gasses, as present in the blood and in the alveoli.
