What is it called when your body picks up oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide?

gas exchange


What vessels is responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells?

The capillaries are responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells. These tiny blood vessels have thin walls that allow for the exchange of oxygen, carbon dioxide, and nutrients between the blood and the surrounding tissues.


What happens to oxygen after gas exchange?

the oxygen is taken into your blood and transported around your body in your veins and arteries. visit StarburstSammy youtube page


Why does the blood that flows to the fish's heart lack oxygen?

It's because a process called gas exchange has taken place in the fish's body. Oxygenated blood is pumped throughout the body, and the cells in the body take out oxygen and put in carbon dioxide (gas exchange). The blood returning to the heart of the fish is deoxygenated, and it will have to eventually go to the gills. There, the carbon dioxide (CO2) will get dumped into the water and oxygen (O2) will be picked up from the water at the same time in another gas exchange.


Why is the oxygen you breathe out full of moisture?

because your body is getting rid of moisture from the body when the gas exchange occurs in the lungs moisture is exhaled


How is the balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide maintained?

The balance of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body is maintained through a process called gas exchange. During respiration, oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is released. This gas exchange occurs in the lungs where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is exhaled out of the body.


Where oxygen and CO exchange places?

Oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange places through the process of gas exchange in the lungs during respiration. Oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream in exchange for carbon dioxide, which is then exhaled out of the body. This exchange occurs in the alveoli, small air sacs in the lungs where the transfer of gases takes place.


Is stomata help in exchange of oxygen?

Yes...stomata helps in the diffusion of gas,and oxygen is a gas


What does it mean to exchange gases?

A gas exchange is the diffusion of gases from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. An example of this is when humans breath. Oxygen enters the body by means of the airway and replaces the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide exits the body and replaces the oxygen on the outside of the body.


In the lungs oxygen from air enters what?

Oxygen in the lungs and passes through the alveoli, small sacs which allow gas exchange, and enters the blood to be pumped throughout the body.


What is the function of the avioli?

The alveoli are small air sacs in the lungs where oxygen is taken up by the blood and carbon dioxide is released from the blood into the lungs to be exhaled. This gas exchange process is essential for respiration and providing oxygen to the body's tissues.


The two basic functions of the respiratory system are air distribution and?

gas exchange. Air distribution involves moving air into and out of the lungs, while gas exchange occurs in the alveoli where oxygen is taken up by the blood and carbon dioxide is released for exhalation. These functions are essential for delivering oxygen to the body's cells and removing waste carbon dioxide.
