Oxygen passes into the capillaries that surround these sac?
Oxygen passes into the capillaries that surround the alveoli. The thin walls of the capillaries make this diffusion easier.
What are the small sacs in the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
The humorus
What does the oxygen molecule do when it is in the alveoli?
It diffuses into the blood capillaries surrounding the alveoli.
What moves into the capillaries from alveoli?
probably oxygen
What moves into the capillaries into the alveoli?
probably oxygen
What is the role of the alveoli in the respite system?
Alveoli exchange Oxygen with blood in capillaries
What is the body organ which oxygen passes through to capillaries?
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
How do alveolar and capillaries work together to provide the muscles with oxygen?
as it moves through blood vessels capillaries in the alveoli walls, your blood takes oxygen from the alveoli and gives off carbon dioxide to the alveoli
Where are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged in the lungs?
oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in alveoli (singular alveolus).
What takes place between the alveoli and capillaries in the lungs?
When you inhale, air fills the alveoli and oxygen passes from the alveoli through a semipermeable membrane and into the capillaries, leading into the bloodstream. During the same process, carbon dioxide is outgassed from the blood to the alveoli When you inhale, air fills the alveoli and oxygen passes from the alveoli through a semipermeable membrane and into the capillaries, leading into the bloodstream.

Does oxygen and carbon dioxide moving from alveoli to capillaries requires energy?
It does not require energy. It move down the concentration gradient naturally.
What is the substance that the capillaries absorb from the lungs?
The capillaries absorb oxygen at the lungs. This occurs near the alveoli.
