What gas leaves the blood in pulmonary capillaries and enters the alveoli?
carbon dioxide
Does the carbon dioxide travels into capillaries alveolar and out of the capillaries at the tissue?
In the alveoli
What are the small sacs in the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
The humorus
Where are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the lungs?
oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in alveoli (singular alveolus).
How does carbon dioxide get out of your blood?
Diffusion in the capillaries of the alveoli in the lungs.
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.
Does carbon dioxide pass into the blood?
Carbon dioxide passes into the blood at the capillaries of the systemic circulation. Then it is released at capillaries around the alveoli.
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.

Do capillaries surround alveoli?
The alveoli are the sites of respiration: the oxygen in them provided by the inhaled air diffuses into the blood cells that flow through the capillaries. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood and into the alveoli so it can be exhaled. The capillaries provide a way for the blood to reach the alveoli. Hope this helps

How do alveolar and capillaries work together to provide the muscles with oxygen?
as it moves through blood vessels capillaries in the alveoli walls, your blood takes oxygen from the alveoli and gives off carbon dioxide to the alveoli
By what process does the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place?
capillaries and the alveoli
