Which organs are oxygen and carbon dioxide changed?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide change in the lungs.
What body organs excrete carbon dioxide and water?
lungs.
How does the oxygen that you breathe in get to the rest of your body?
You inhale oxygen/ It flows to the lungs. The lungs transfer the oxygen to the blood stream in exchange of carbon dioxide , which is exhaled. The blood stream flows to all parts of the body, and exchanged the oxygen for carbon dioxide, in muscles and other body organs. The carbon dioxide is then carried to the lungs and exhaled. This then begs the question, 'What happens to the carbon dioxide?. Carbon dioxide is a heavy gas and fall to the ground. Whereupon in is inhalked by green leafed plants; grass/leaves etc., In these plant, under the process of photsynthesis and in the presence of UV(sunlight) light, the plant breaks down the carbon dioxide into carbon , which is kept in the plant as biomass. The oxygen is then released back into the atmosphere for animals to breath. It is a natural cyclic process. That's putting it very simply. I am sure there are more complxities in the system.
How does oxygen in the air get to all the important organs?
through sulpher dioxide then in your ear and out your nostril
Is carbon dioxide in the blood carried oxygen?
Yes, it carries Oxygen. Carbon dioxide (CO2) plays an important role in the human body. It is a waste product of cellular metabolism, exhaled by the lungs at the same time that oxygen is inhaled. This waste product is involved in the transportation of oxygen from the blood, to the cells of the body. Reduced carbon dioxide levels result in reduced oxygen in the body tissues and vital organs, resulting in various health issues. CO2 helps dilate the smooth muscle tissues and helps regulate the cardiovascular system. CO2 gets converted to carbonic acid, thereby becoming a primary regulator of the alkaline/acid balance of the body. Moreover, CO2 plays a role in the proper functioning of the digestive system. Thus, carbon dioxide in blood levels plays a very important role in the body. The normal concentration of CO2 in the bloodstream is 40 mm of Hg.
What do the organs do in the respiratory system?
The organs in the respiratory system are responsible for oxygenating the blood and for expelling built up carbon dioxide.
Which organs are oxygen and carbon dioxide changed?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide change in the lungs.
Which organ system produces carbon dioxide?
All of them. Carbon dioxide is produced by cellular respiration, which occurs in all organs.
What body organs excrete carbon dioxide and water?
lungs.
What are organs that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with water?
The organ is gills.
What are the organs that oxygenate the blood and remove carbon dioxide from it called?
Lungs
What do the blood vessels do for the body?
Carry oxygen and nutrients to organs and carbon dioxide and metabolites away from organs
Two organs in the chest?
Two organs in the chest are the lungs, responsible for breathing by bringing oxygen into the body and removing carbon dioxide, and the heart, which pumps blood throughout the body to provide oxygen and nutrients to cells.
What organs does Carbon Dioxide pass through in the body?
It passes through the lungs.
What are the organs called in which carbon dioxide from the mollusk is exchanged for oxygen in the water?
grills
What system is a group of organs and tissues that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide?
chloplast
Two large organs in which the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs?
in your lungs
