What is the artery that takes blood to the alveoli?
The pulmonary artery takes the blood to the alveoli.
What is the passageway of blood from the heart to the lungs?
You have pulmonary aorta that arises from the right ventricle. It splits into right and left branches. The branches most probably continue to divide with the bronchi. Ultimately you have the network of the capillaries to cover the alveoli.
Why does the heart gives away impure blood through the artery?
A pulmonary artery is an artery in the pulmonary circulation that carries deoxygenated blood from the right side of the heart to the lungs. The largest pulmonary artery is the main pulmonary artery or pulmonary trunk from the heart, and the smallest ones are the arterioles, which lead to the capillaries that surround the pulmonary alveoli.
Is it harmful if right ventricle creates too much pressure?
Yes, because if it created too much pressure then the capillaries in the lungs (which are about one cell thick) would bust, resulting in inefficient gaseous exchange in the alveoli.
How does the blood get oxygen?
by suking it
What does the oxygen molecule do when it is in the alveoli?
It diffuses into the blood capillaries surrounding the alveoli.
Do capillaries surround alveoli?
The alveoli are the sites of respiration: the oxygen in them provided by the inhaled air diffuses into the blood cells that flow through the capillaries. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood and into the alveoli so it can be exhaled. The capillaries provide a way for the blood to reach the alveoli. Hope this helps
Why do blood capillaries surround alveoli?

The inhaled oxygen passes into the alveoli and then diffuses through the capillaries into the?
aerteries
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.
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is?
It diffuses because the concentration of oxygen in the capillaries is lower than the concentration of oxygen in the air (law of diffusion).
What are alveoli surrounded by?
the blood surround Alveoli in order to gas exchange between the Alveoli and red blood cell.
Does carbon dioxide diffuse from the capillaries to the alveoli?
yes while oxygen then diffuses into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses out. it's a chain
What happens in the aveoli?
Carbon dioxide diffuses from the capillaries surrounding the alveoli into the lungs where it is exhaled, and oxygen diffuses into the capillaries surrounding the alveoli into the bloodstream where it will circulate throughout the body.
Where in the lungs does diffusion take place and what gasses are diffused?
---------------------------- The exchange of gasses takes place across the Alveoli, which are air spaces surrounded by very small air sacs and have a rich supply of blood, because they are surrounded by capillaries. The lungs are made up of many alveoli which are the respiratory surface. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood in the capillaries into the alveoli.
What gas leaves the blood in pulmonary capillaries and enters the alveoli?
carbon dioxide
Does the exchange of carbon dioxide depend on the concentration of oxygen in the alveoli and the blood?
No. It depends on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli and the blood. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli is higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, so carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli diffuses out of the capillaries into the alveoli of the lungs and is exhaled.
