What is the type of transport that oxygen move from the alveoli into the pulmonary capillary blood?

Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood due to higher PO2 (partial pressure of oxygen) levels in the alveoli than in the blood.

Is o2 concentration greater in the pulmonary capillaries or alveoli?
In the alveoli
Is oxygen more concentrated in the alveolus or capillary?
In the alveoli
Where does oxygen move from the respiratory system to circulatory system?
By diffusion across q capillary wall
What is the site where oxygen enters the pulmonary blood?
Oxygen enters the blood in the alveoli of the lungs
What is the site at which oxygen enters the pulmonary blood?
Oxygen enters the pulmonary blood in the capillaries of the alveoli -- the air sacs of the lungs.
How can the oxygen you bring in to your body get into your circulatory system?
your lungs have structures called alveoli. The alveoli are surrounded by capillary beds which carry blood. The oxygen enters the alveoli when you inhale. The oxygen then diffuses from high concentration in your alveoli to low concentration the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli.

The absorption of oxygen from the atmosphere into the blood takes place in the A. pulmonary artery B. pulmonary vein C. alveoli D. trachea E. bronchi?
alveoli
What is the parts in the lungs where oxygen enters the blood stream?
The capillary net rould the alveoli.
The exchange of gases occurs in the?
In the lungs are small air sacs called alveoli. These alveoli are covered with blood capillaries. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide diffuse through the alveolar capillary membrane. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli to the blood capillary and carbon dioxide diffuses from the capillary to the alveoli and you breath it out of your body.
When you inhale air enters the alveoli from the what?
The air flow of the lungs is as follows... From the Nasal cavities to the Pharynx to the Larynx to the Trachea to the Bonchi to the Bronchioles Alveoli ...The respiratory gases, oxygen, and carbon dioxide, diffuse across the Aveolar pulmonary Capillary membrane. Hope this diaphragm answers your question
What happens in pulmonary edema?
Normally very little to no fluid enters the alveoli of the lungs. In pulmonary edema there is increased pressure in the pulmonary veins. So fluid escapes in the alveoli of the lungs, making transfer of the oxygen impossible from such alveoli. Patient feels suffocated and starve for oxygen, in pulmonary edema.
