Why purification of blood also referred to as gaseous exchange?

The blood carries both nutrients (food) and wastes to and from cells. At the lungs carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen and at the kidneys blood is filtered and wastes and some water is lost. Most of the water is retained.

How are red blood cells specialized to exchange gasses?
Gaseous excange takes place in the alveoli of the Lungs during respiration
What is the site of gaseous exchange in an insects?
Insects have a unique respiratory system made up of small tubes called tracheae. The tracheae connect all parts of the body to small openings on the surface of the insect. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are transported through the tracheae (which the site of gaseous exchange) and from the tracheae to the blood of the insect by diffusion.
Is the exchange of gases within the cells of the body known as internal respiration?
No. The exchange of gases between the blood and tissue cells is called internal respiration. External respiration refers to the exchange of gases between the blood and the air inside of the alveoli of the lungs.
Ho does oxygen reach the cells of the body?
When you inhale in the lungs the air goes into little sacks called alveoli. In the alveoli gaseous exchange occurs this is when the carbon dioxide from the capillaries is exchanged for the oxygen you inhaled. When in the capillaries the red blood cells absorbs the oxygen and transports it around the body until all the oxygen is absorbed by the body it is then brought backed to the lungs where gaseous exchange occurs again.
How does the body get rid of gaseous waste?
Gaseous waste is expelled from the body primarily through respiration. A process called gas exchange takes place in the lungs. With every breath we take, some quantity of the waste gases (like carbon dioxide, or CO2) in our blood is exchanged for oxygen (O2) in the air inspired. Note that anything else in the air that we inhale can be carried across and into the blood.
What blood vessel is referred to as the exchange vessel?
capillaries
Where does gaseous exchange in human take place?
Gaseous exchange takes place in numerous alveoli located in the lungs.
How is epithelial tissue adapted for gas exchange?
Epithelial lining between the alveoli wall and the blood capillaries is thin to provide a shorter diffusion distance for easy gaseous exchange.
How are the lungs and the capillaries connected?
The lungs contain air sacs called alveoli which are surrounded by blood capillaries to allow gaseous exchange.
Can you Describe the Process of gaseous exchange?
It comes from the body when it containly exchanges throught the lungs.
How are red blood cells specialized to exchange gasses?
Gaseous excange takes place in the alveoli of the Lungs during respiration
Where does gas exchange occur in the lungs?
gaseous exchange in the lungs takes place in the walls of the alveoli which are provided with a rich supply of blood vessels .the partial pressures of the gases .i.e. CO2 and oxygen in the atmosphere and the blood vessel is naturally perfect for the diffusion of gases.
What is diffusion of carbon dioxide out of the blood stream?
That is a natural physiological process that occurs in the lungs. It is usually referred to as gas exchange, where the blood is enriched with oxygen as it looses most of its load of carbon dioxide.
The cardiovascular system includes the blood heart and lungs true or false?
False The systemic circuit provides exchange of gases between blood and the rest of the body. The pulmonary circuit provides gaseous exchange between the lungs.
What process is responsible for blood purification?
The kidneys handle it
Which internal part of body is purification of blood?
Kidneys
