∙ 8y agoOur lungs, part of the respiratory system, are in charge of taking in the gas a person is inhaling. Lungs absorb oxygen that is needed for human breathing then it expels carbon dioxide, a gas that the human body doesn't need.

AnswerThe uptake of oxygen into the blood has more to do with diffusion and the pressure of oxygen than its affinity to hemoglobin although all processes play a role. Much of carbon dioxide is not bound to hemoglobin, so its release from blood back into the lungs has more to do with diffusion.Additionally, there are medical procedures that can, through the same principles, remove carbon dioxide while adding oxygen. An ECMO (extracorporeal membrane oxygenation) machine can accomplish this (usually used with newborns).

Body cells release carbon dioxide and what?
oxygen
Is a function of the lungs?
The function of the lungs are to bring oxygen, into the body and to release carbon dioxide. Oxygen is what the body needs to make energy and carbon dioxide is a waste that the body does not need.

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.
What process in the body produces carbon dioxide?
The respiratory system. You breathe oxygen, and release carbon dioxide. Then the trees do the same, except with carbon dioxide. It a continuous cycle, that, over time, will eventually run out.
What caarries carbon dioxide from the body?
your red blood cells carry oxygen into your body and takes carbon dioxide out
Why do you inhale and exhale?
because your body extracts the oxygen from the air in your lungs and as a result the ratio of carbon dioxide to oxygen in increased. Edit: During aerobic respiration, your body produces carbon dioxide from the breakdown of glucose to create ATP. Carbon dioxide is also produced during fermentation.
Does blood pumped from the left ventricle to the body have more oxygen or carbon dioxide?
Carbon Dioxide
What two gases are exchanged in your lungs when you breathe?
carbon dioxide goes out and oxygen comes in
How does carbon dioxide get from your body cells into the air around you?
When your blood cells go to your lungs to get oxygen, they also release carbon to make room for the oxygen, then when you breath out, the carbon gets into the air.
What is carbon dioxide carried to the lungs as?
oxygen. You breathe out carbon dioxide and you breathe in oxygen it is all oxygen in you body its hoe it comes out
