The diaphragm is a sheath of muscle that separates the organs of the chest and abdomen. When you take a breath, you're flexing the diaphragm and a number of smaller muscles in your chest. This inflates the lungs, creating a partial vacuum, drawing air into your nose and mouth and into your lungs.

What is it call when oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream?
+++Osmosis
What body system moves oxygen to the lungs?
respiratory system
What happens to the oxygen levels in the blood as it moves through the lungs?
the oxygen releases carbon dioxide
What happens to the oxygen level in blood as it moves through the lungs?
the oxygen releases carbon dioxide
What the blood have when it moves to the lungs?
The questions leads towards which physiological important gases the blood contains.When the blood moves TO the lungs it has both CO2 (carbondioxide) and O2 (oxygen). However the level of oxygen is lower, and the level of CO2 is higher than with blood coming from the lungs.
Oxygen moves from the lungs into the blood via?
through respiratory membrane via diffusion
What does it mean when oxygen moves from the lungs into the bloodstream?
Oxygen is moving by simple diffusion. It is going from a higher level of oxygen (air) to lower (blood).
Why is the respiratory system dependent on circulating system?
The respiratory system draws oxygen into the lungs. The circulatory system moves blood into the lungs to pick up the oxygen and then brings the oxygen to cells in the rest of the body.
Where does blood get new oxygen?
In the lungs. The blood is pumped from the right side of the heart to the lungs. Air moves into the trachea, the bronchi and finally to the alveoli. From the alveoli oxygen diffuses into the microcapilaries (small blood vessels) of the lungs.
What do the lungs do when the diaphragm moves down?
The diaphragm moves down when you breathe in, so your lungs will expand to take in as much oxygen as possible.
How do lung intake oxygen?
Simple answer. All your life your lungs inhale and exhale oxygen. This is facilitated by the diaphragm, a muscle just below the lungs. When this muscle moves down a partial vacuum is created allowing the lungs to inflate filling the space created by the moving diaphragm, it then moves up again compressing the lungs and therefore expelling the air in them.
When the oxygen goes into the bloodstream it goes into arteries veins or capillaries?
Oxygen moves into the lungs to the alveoli in the lungs into capillaries into pulmonary veins to the heart then to arteries that go through the rest of the body.
