In haled oxygen diffuses through the walls of the?
Alveoli in the lungs.
Does oxygen passes through the walls of the alveoli from the air into the cappilaries of the whist?
Yes, Oxygen diffuses through the wall of the alveoli then through the walls of the capillaries. :)
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
What walls does the oxygen and nutrients diffuse?
alveoli
What is the process of oxygen flowing through the alveoli's walls?
The answer is diffusion. The inhaled oxygen passes into the alveoli and then diffuses through the capillaries into the arterial blood. Meanwhile, the waste-rich blood from the veins releases its carbon dioxide into the alveoli. The carbon dioxide follows the same path out of the lungs when you exhale.
What is the body organ which oxygen passes through to capillaries?
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
Inhaled oxygen diffuses through the walls of what?
Inhaled oxygen diffuses through the walls of the alveoli in the lungs into the surrounding capillaries, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells for transport to tissues in the body.
Why does the walls of the capillaries and the alveoli have to be thin?
If their walls are too thick, substances like oxygen and nutrients and waste cannot pass across the cells into or out of the body.
Why do capillaries cover the alveoli?
Capillaries cover the alveoli in order to maximize the area for gas exchange between the lungs and the blood. Carbon dioxide is released from the blood through the capillary walls and into the alveoli, while oxygen is picked up from the alveoli through the capillary walls and into the blood.
The walls of the alveoli are so thin that gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide can pass through them by a process called?
diffusion
What vessels supply oxygen and nutrients to the walls of large blood vessels?
The lymphatic system, although the oxygen comes from the blood itself as it passes through the alveoli
During respiration the exchange of gases takes place through the walls of the what?
During respiration the exchange of gases takes place through the walls of the alveoli. From there, the oxygen is taken by the blood to the body tissues.
