What else can I help you with?
What are air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of gases take place?
Technically yes. However, there are a few more strucutres that thanks to their histological properties can participate in the gas exchange process: respiratory bronchioles, and alveolar ducts.
Which process drives the gas exchange from the alveoli to the capillaries?
Diffusion is the process that allows the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli. This process is one of passive transport.
What takes place between the alveoli and capillaries in the lungs?
When you inhale, air fills the alveoli and oxygen passes from the alveoli through a semipermeable membrane and into the capillaries, leading into the bloodstream. During the same process, carbon dioxide is outgassed from the blood to the alveoli When you inhale, air fills the alveoli and oxygen passes from the alveoli through a semipermeable membrane and into the capillaries, leading into the bloodstream.

The place where oxygen enters the blood?
Oxygen enters the blood through the thin walls of the alveoli in the lungs during the process of respiration. This occurs through a process called diffusion, where oxygen moves from an area of high concentration in the alveoli to an area of lower concentration in the blood vessels surrounding the alveoli.
What physiologic process describes the movement from the alveoli to the blood?
Transpiration.
Why is it false that dust particles trapped in the mucus are swept away by tiny hair like alveoli?
It's false that dust particles are swept away by tiny hair-like alveoli because alveoli are the small air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs, not structures designed for trapping dust. Instead, dust particles are trapped in mucus within the airways, and the cilia—tiny hair-like structures lining the respiratory tract—move the mucus upward toward the throat to be expelled or swallowed. Alveoli lack cilia and do not participate in this cleansing process.
In what way can citizens participate in the election process?
They can participate in the election process by passing the test or being born in the u.s.
What is an individual air cell called?
An individual air cell is called an alveolus (plural: alveoli) in the lungs. Alveoli are tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs during the process of breathing.
Why are the alveoli and bronchi separated in the lungs?
The bronchi are the tubes that actually carry the air to the lungs, they have a different function than the alveoli which function in the process for gas exchange.
By what process does the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place?
capillaries and the alveoli
What process allows gas exchange in the lungs?
Diffusion
What is the name of the process that takes place in the alveoli?
respiration ;)
