What is the exchange of gases between the alveolar air and pulmonary capilaary blood?
Kenlitjillgallo
From inside the capillary (where the red blood cells are), Oxygen will be given up to the body cell and this will be replaced in the red blood cell by Carbon dioxide from the body cell.

In which structure does gas exchange occur?
gas exchange occurs between pulmonary capillaries and the alveoli in the lungs.
What is difference between anatomical dead space and phyiological dead space?
ANATOMICAL DEAD SPACEThe volume of the conducting airways of the nose,mouth,trachea down to the level of alveoli representing dead portion of inspired gas unavailable of exchange of gases with pulmonary capilary blood. PHYSIOLOGICAL DEAD SPACEIt is the combination of anatomical dead space and alveolar dead space.where as alveolar dead space is the space occupied by gas which is transported to the alveoli but does not meet blood across the alveolar capillary membrane.
The valve located between the right ventricle and the pulmonary trunk is?
pulmonary semilunar valve
What is The site of gas exchange in the tissues?
The site of respiration is the cells, more specifically, the mitochondria
What Are sites of exchange between blood and tissue?
The exchange that takes place between organs and blood are **** and ********
What is the difference between pulmonary and alveolar ventilation?
nothing
The exchange of gases between alveolar air and blood is due to?
it diffuses thru the alveolar cappilary membrane
Exchange of gases between alveolar air and pulmonary capillary blood?
Oxygen passes from the air sacs in the lungs to the blood in the capillaries, carbon dioxide passes the other way.
Which part of the respiratory system consists of air sacs with capillaries?
That sounds like a general description of the LUNGS.The lungs are loaded with pulmonary alveoli: small outpouchings along the walls of the alveolar sacs and alveolar ducts; through them, gas exchange takes place between alveolar gas and pulmonary capillary blood.
What happens if the neural connections between the pneumotaxic center and apneustic center are severed?
Decreased pulmonary and alveolar ventilation.
What part of pulmonary circulation is systemic part of the path of blood through the heart is pulmonary?
Pulmonary circulation is the exchange of blood between the heart and the lungs. Systemic circulation is the the exchange of blood between the heart and the body overall
Where does gas exchange occur between the lungs and blood?
An alveolus (plural: alveoli, from Latin alveolus, "little cavity") is an anatomical structure that has the form of a hollow cavity. Found in the lung parenchyma, the pulmonary alveoli are the dead ends of the respiratory tree, which outcrop from either alveolar sacs or alveolar ducts, which are both sites of gas exchange with the blood as well.
What determines in which direction carbon dioxide and oxygen will diffuse in the lungs?
pressure difference between carbon dioxide and oxygen level between pulmonary artery and alveolar space
In which structure does gas exchange occur?
gas exchange occurs between pulmonary capillaries and the alveoli in the lungs.
What they called the respiratory circulation?
If you are asking what the circulatory circulation through the lungs is called, it is called the pulmonary circulation, or pulmonary loop.Respiratory circulation is driven by the right side of the heart, and is necessary for gas exchange between our blood and the atmosphere. The body rids its self of excess carbon dioxide and other waste volatiles, and absorbs gasses such as oxygen through passive diffusion across the alveolar membranes.
What is difference between anatomical dead space and phyiological dead space?
ANATOMICAL DEAD SPACEThe volume of the conducting airways of the nose,mouth,trachea down to the level of alveoli representing dead portion of inspired gas unavailable of exchange of gases with pulmonary capilary blood. PHYSIOLOGICAL DEAD SPACEIt is the combination of anatomical dead space and alveolar dead space.where as alveolar dead space is the space occupied by gas which is transported to the alveoli but does not meet blood across the alveolar capillary membrane.
Why is the distance between the air in an alveolus and the blood in an alveolar capillary is less than 1 1000th of a millimetre important?
easy efficient exchange between air and blood
