In the lungs, a gas pressure gradient is set up between the alveoli in the lungs and the blood capillaries. After inhaling, there is a higher oxygen pressure in the lungs and a lower oxygen pressure in the blood. As a result, oxygen diffuses into the blood. Hemoglobin in the blood at this point is carrying carbon dioxide. Due to the Haldane effect, when the blood begins to be oxygen rich again, hemoglobin releases the CO2 and picks up the oxygen. CO2 then diffuses out of the blood and into the alveoli in the lungs and is exhaled while the blood carries the oxygen to its needed locations.

What two structures does the exchange of gas occur?
There are two place where this process occurs: i) the Lungs, and ii) the Capilliaries.
Why does blood enter the lungs?
they enter the lungs in order to obtain oxygen and get rid of carbon dioxide. this process occurs in the alveolus of the lungs by diffusion.
What occurs when air leaves the lungs?
Loss of air in the Lungs.
Does exchange of gases occurs in nasal cavity?
No, it occurs in the lungs.
Where is respiration in an animal cell?
Respiration is the process by which oxygen is delivered from the external environment to the cells for cellular exchange. Most occurs in the lungs of the animal
Which process removes the waste product of metabolism from the body?
excretion
What is diffusion of carbon dioxide out of the blood stream?
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.
Which organ does carbon dioxide leave the body?
In the lungs. This process is called the Gas Exchange.Gas exchange is the delivery of oxygen from the lungs to the bloodstream, and the elimination of carbon dioxide from the bloodstream to the lungs. It occurs in the lungs between the alveoli and a network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which are located in the walls of the alveoli.
Where does the exchange of gases between blood air occur?
Simply put, the gas exchange occurs in the lungs. More specifically, the blood exchange occurs at the avoli, the "air sacs" in the lungs where the surrounding capillaries can be oxygenated.
Systemic circulation occurs when the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs?
system circulation occurs when the right ventricle pumps blood to the lungs
How is oxygendistrubuted to the different areas of the body?
Oxygen is inhaled to the lungs were a cleaning process occurs. The oxygen is mixed into the blood stream and this is carried by the blood flow around the body. Designated blood returns to the lungs for the cycle to restart
When keratinization occurs in the lungs what usually occurs?
Increased risk of respiratory infections.
