What tissue allows the rapid diffusion of oxygen form the aveoli in lungs to blood?

In the lungs, cells called alveoli form a thin membrane between the lungs and the capillaries. The alveoli extract oxygen from the air inhaled by the diaphragm, and transfers the oxygen to hemoglobin in red blood cells, which transport the oxygen to other parts of the body.

Oxygen will pass from the blood to tissue fluid by the process of?
Diffusion
How does oxygen get from the blood to the cell in the tissue?
diffusion from red blood cells in capillaries to the tissue cells
What principles govern whether oxygen or carbon dioxide to enter and leave the blood in the lungs and in the tissue?
Diffusion
What tissue located in the alveoli and provides a short distance for the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
simple squamous
How does epithelium obtain nutrients and oxygen and get rid of wastes?
Through diffusion from underlying connective tissue which have abundant blood vessels.
What happens to the tissue when you put it in water?
Normal lung tissue floats because of all the aveoli (tiny air pockets).
What type of tissue makes up the walls of the alveoli?
simple squamous. It allows for diffusion.
How does oxygen diffuse through the body?
Diffusion occurs throughout the human body, and without it, cells and body tissue, dirty atmosphere, oxygen concentration may be low, and the eye can dry out.
How may laser photocoagulation serve as an alternative to retinal cryopexy?
by destroying outer retinal tissue, thus reducing the oxygen requirements of the retina, and increasing oxygen delivery to the remaining retina through alterations in oxygen diffusion from the choroid.
How does oxygen get from the blood to the cells in the tissue?
Oxygen and nutrients reach cells within tissues via the bloodstream. Blood is also responsible for transporting waste away from the cells.
Which type of epithelial tissue is used in areas where diffusion is a main function?
Diffusion occurs across simple epithelial tissue. These are only one layer.
Where do Metabolites exchange by diffusion with tissue cells?
capillary
