What sort of blood vessels are surrounding the air sacs in your lungs?
Capillaries are the blood vessels that surround the alveoli, or air sacs, in your lungs. These capillaries are the site of gas exchange.
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is a?
greater concentration of oxygen in the air sacs of the lungs than in the capillaries.
What are the tiny air sacs within the lungs that are made of a single layer of squamous epithelial tissue and are covered with very small capillaries?
alveoli
How are the lungs and the capillaries connected?
The lungs contain air sacs called alveoli which are surrounded by blood capillaries to allow gaseous exchange.
How do the circulatory and respiratory system work together in the air sacs?
The lungs bring air into the air sacs, which are tightly wrapped with capillaries. The capillaries exchange oxygen for carbon dioxide, which the lungs expel.
What are the minute air sacs of the lungs that contain millions of capillaries are?
alveoli
What type of blood vessels are associated with air sacs in the lungs?
capillaries
What is the name of the organ that you use to breathe in oxygen?
the air goes into your lungs. In your lungs there are billions of tiny air sacs. Surrounding each air sac is a network of blood capillaries. The air sacs and the blood capillaries are separated by a thin membrane. Across this membrane the air sacs give the blood capillaries oxygen and they blood capillaries give the air sacs carbon dioxide. We breathe out this carbon dioxide!
What are the small sacs in the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
The humorus
What kind of epithelial tissue is in the alveolar sacs of the lungs?
Simple Squamous
What kind of epithelial tissue is found in alveolar sacs of the lungs?
Simple Squamous
What epithelial tissues form walls of capillaries and air sacs of lungs?
Simple squamous epithelium.
