How does gas exchange occurs within?
gaseous exchange takes place when the volume of the chest cavity is increased or decreased.
What process allows gas exchange in the lungs?
Diffusion
Air in respiratory passages that does not contribute to gas exchange?
Dead space volume
How does gas exchange occur?
Gaseous exchange takes place when the volume of the chest cavity is increased or decreased.
The volume of air available for gas exchange per minute is called what?
alveolar ventilation.
Dead space volume?
Dead space volume is when some of the inspired air fills the conducting respiratory passageways and never contributes to gas exchange in the alveoli.
What is an alveolar dead space?
An alveolar dead space is the volume of air in the alveoli of the lungs which does not partake in gas exchange.
What is the adaptive value of having the organ of gas exchange inside the body?
The adaptive value of having the organ of gas exchange inside the body is increased effectiveness. It allows for more rapid movement of air across the lungs.
The exchange between alveoli and capillaries allows what?
gas exchange to take place/to allow cells to lose CO2 and gain O2 so they will be oxygenated and ready to be pumped around your body.
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 is The site of gas exchange in the tissues?
The site of respiration is the cells, more specifically, the mitochondria
What does the placenta do for the reproductive?
The placenta connects a developing fetus to the wall of the uterus, which allows gas exchange, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination
