What part do red blood cells have in the oxygen carbon dioxide exchange?

The hemoglobin in red blood cells carries oxygen from the lungs to the tissues in the rest of the body, where it releases the oxygen to the tissues and collects the resultant carbon dioxide bringing it back to the lungs to be exhaled.

What does blood do when you breathe?
Exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen
Capillaries exchange food oxygen and what?
They exchange water, oxygen and carbon dioxide, as well as nutrient and waste chemical substances between blood and surrounding tissues.
What two gases are exchange in the cell?
oxygen and carbon dioxide. oxygen is delivered by the blood into the cell and oxygen from the cell is is given to the blood in exchange to be expelled by the lungs.
Where does blood exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen in the mammalian circulatory system?
the lungs
How do capillaries exchange substances between the blood and the tissues?
Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.
How does the oxygen change to carbon dioxide?
The primary function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. Inhaled oxygenenters the lungs and reaches the alveoli. Oxygen passes quickly through this air-blood barrier into the blood in the capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide passes from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled.
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.
What are two gases that enter and exit from the alveolus?
It is carbon dioxide which is collected from different organs of the body by blood
What are the structures that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood?
The tiny air sacs of the lungs were oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged are the alveoli.
What Blood which contains carbon dioxide and lack oxygen?
Venous blood is loaded with carbon dioxide and low in oxygen Arterial blood is rich in oxygen with little carbon dioxide
Does the exchange of carbon dioxide depend on the concentration of oxygen in the alveoli and the blood?
No. It depends on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli and the blood. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli is higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, so carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli diffuses out of the capillaries into the alveoli of the lungs and is exhaled.
Which type of blood vessel allows for oxygen and carbon dioxide to exchange?
Capillaries are the thin-walled vessels that allow oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange. Their thin walls make it easy for gases to diffuse across the membranes.
