In the lungs, carbon dioxide is concentrated more in the blood. The alveoli keeps the carbon dioxide at a lower level than in the blood.

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.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide pass back and forth between the alveoli and the blood through?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide easily pass back and forth between the alveoli and the blood through the capillaries.
What happens to the oxygen when it reaches the alveoli?
oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide
Where does oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide pass out of the blood?
alveoli
When in the lungs does the blood absorb both oxygen and carbon dioxide?
The Carbon Dioxide is not absorbed into the blood it is only the oxygen. When you breathe in, the air travels down your windpipe, down the bronchi and then down the bronchis. On the end of the bronchioles, there are sacs called alveoli. These have a good blood supply surrounding them. The blood is absorbed through this small sac. The reason it can get through is that the walls of the alveoli are only one cell thick.

Which gas passes out of the blood to the alveoli?
carbon dioxide
Does carbon dioxide movers from the blood to the alveoli?
yes
Where the carbon dioxide and blood exchanged in the body?
Alveoli
How does the body exchange carbon dioxide in the blood?
alveoli
Describe what happens in the alveoli sacs?
When we inhale in and out oxygen moves from the alveoli to blood carbon dioxide moves from blood to alveoli.
Which gas passes into the blood from the alveoli?
ravioli
Oxygen passes into the blood and carbon dioxide passes out of the blood in the?
alveoli
How do lungs remove its carbon dioxide?
In lungs alveoli is present where exchange of gases takes place, when blood with carbon dioxide is reached lungs then these alveoli purify by removing carbon dioxide
How does carbon dioxide get out of your blood?
Diffusion in the capillaries of the alveoli in the lungs.
Oxygen diffuse into the blood at the alveoli?
Carbon dioxide does.
What are the structures that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood?
The tiny air sacs of the lungs were oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged are the alveoli.
