How oxygen although it does not have an independent cycle moves through the biosphere as part of the carbon?
Although oxygen does not have an independent cycle, it moves through the biosphere as part of the carbon cycle. Develop a model to illustrate how oxygen fits into the carbon cycle. Include the various forms that oxygen takes in your model.
How does oxygen move into the bloodstreem?
The oxygen diffuses through the thin lining of the alveoli into the blood. It moves from the area of high oxygen concentration (the alveoli) to the area of low oxygen concentration (the blood).
Excess water moves back into the bloodstream from which organ?
kidney
What is the path of oxygen from outside the body to the bloodstream?
First you breath in air (which is not pure oxygen, only about 19% is oxygen) which goes to the lungs. The lungs have a huge surface area (the size of a football field!) covered in capillaries which blood flows though. The oxygen from the air is absorbed in the capillaries and is transfefred to the blood. The blood releases the waste Carbon Dioxide into the lungs which is breathed out.The path of air into the lungs is as follows: the nasal cavity then pharynx then trachea then the bronchus then the bronchioles then to the alvioli and to the bloodstream.From the capillaries of the alveoli, the blood travels through progressively larger veins of the pulmonary circulation, until it reaches the pulmonary vein and then the left atrium. From there, the oxygenated blood goes through the mitral valve into the left ventricle, then is pumped out the aorta. The oxygenated blood, with oxygen attached to the hemoglobin in the red blood cell, moves to body tissues through progressively smaller arteries of the systemic circulation. It moves out of the blood and into tissues via diffusion through the thin-walled capillaries, then into cells where it is used in cellular respiration.
How does the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen take place in the lungs?
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in between the alveoli and capillaries. Oxygen moves through the cell membrane of the capillaries of the alveoli and then into the blood. Then oxygen is picked up by hemoglobin, and carried to all the body cells. At the same time, waste(carbon dioxide) leaves the body by exhaling --- @luvzbieber
What is it call when oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream?
+++Osmosis
When the oxygen goes into the bloodstream it goes into arteries veins or capillaries?
Oxygen moves into the lungs to the alveoli in the lungs into capillaries into pulmonary veins to the heart then to arteries that go through the rest of the body.
What does it mean when oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream?
Oxygen is moving by simple diffusion. It is going from a higher level of oxygen (air) to lower (blood).
What is the substance that moves from the bloodstream to the air via the lungs?
deoxygenated blood
Why does oxygen moves into lungs?
Inside the red blood cells, the iron has a great affinity for oxygen. It moves by passive diffusion from the alveoli in the lungs into the bloodstream where it binds to the iron groups in the haemoglobin in the red blood cells.
What happens to the oxygen levels in the blood as it moves through the lungs?
the oxygen releases carbon dioxide
What happens to the oxygen level in blood as it moves through the lungs?
the oxygen releases carbon dioxide
When a person inhales oxygen fills tiny air sacs in the person's lungs Next the oxygen moves from these air sacs into small blood vessels that line the lungs and then it moves into the bloodstream?
Yes. This what happens. The oxygenated blood goes to the heart and is pumped out via arteries and end up in the capillaries where the oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide and it moves into the body cells.
Oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood via?
through respiratory membrane via diffusion
When oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream?
A protein called hemoglobin present in red blood cells is able to bind oxygen molecules. Capillaries surround the alveolar sacs in the lungs where oxygen diffuses into the blood where it is bound by hemoglobin. Now, the oxygen is in the blood.
What is it called when oxygen moves froms the lung into the bloodstream?
+++Osmosis
Air moves from the outside into the lungs through?
The air moves from the outside into the lungs through the windpipe.
