Is oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the human body?
Yes
What happens when oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in the lungs?
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide happens in between the alveoli and then through the walls of the capillaries and then into the blood. The oxygen is then picked up by hemoglobin in the red blood cells and sent to all body cells. While this is happening the carbon dioxide is transported back from the body cells and into the blood. It diffuses through the walls of the capillaries and into the walls of the alveoli. Carbon dioxide leaves your body whenever you breathe out.
How is carbon dioxide formed inside the body?
Carbon dioxide is created when oxygen and carbon are combined. The respiratory system allows oxygen to be taken into the body while allowing the body to push out (or exhale) the carbon dioxide.
Does the human body create carbon dioxide?
YES!!! You inhale oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.
Where are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the body?
The alveoli sacks have many capillaries and the exchange occurs. O2 from the lungs hits the blood and CO2 is just given off.
Is oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the human body?
Yes
What two gases are exchanged in your lungs when you breathe?
carbon dioxide goes out and oxygen comes in
What brings oxygen to the blood?
When you inhale, your breath is drawn into your lungs, and is exchanged for Carbon Dioxide. The oxygen is 'traded' for Carbon Dioxide from your blood vessels, which leaves the body when you exhale. In other words, inhaling brings Oxygen to your blood.
How does carbon dioxide from a cell in your hand leave the body Please not too detailed thanks?
The carbon dioxide is dissolved in your blood. The blood travels round the body, to the lungs. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide are exchanged during breathing. The Carbon Dioxide is exhaled from the lungs, through the mouth.
Where the carbon dioxide and blood exchanged in the body?
Alveoli

What are the two gases that are exchanged during the breathing process?
The function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide. You breath in air that is rich in oxygen and your lungs move it into the blood to go throughout your body. Then your lungs extract carbon dioxide from the blood and you breath it out.
Does the respiratory system transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the cells?
The respiratory system is a vehicle for gases to get from the atmosphere into the body, but the respiratory system itself does not transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from body cells.When oxygen reaches the alveolar region of the lungs (that's to say, where the alveoli are located) oxygen is exchanged with red blood cells that take the oxygen to the rest of the body.
What happens to the blood when it reaches the lungs?
The blood is oxygenated that is oxygen which has been inhaled is added to the blood and the blood then transports it to other body parts.
What is exchanged in the circulation in the body?
In the lungs, the carbon dioxide from oxygen-poor blood ("used" blood) is released from the body through exhalation and is replaced by oxygen through inhalation, turning the oxygen-poor blood into oxygen-rich blood.
How is carbon dioxide formed inside the body?
Carbon dioxide is created when oxygen and carbon are combined. The respiratory system allows oxygen to be taken into the body while allowing the body to push out (or exhale) the carbon dioxide.
How are oxygen and carbon dioxide and other waste gases exchanged in the lungs and body tissues?
Not sure but I think it might be cellular respiration! Hope this helped! :)
