it dissolves oxygen in the fluid and from there it can diffuse to the alveolar cells.It goes right back to evolution where single cells have to absorb oxygen from water.All of our cells systems ae aquatic.

The respiratory zone of the tracheobronchial tree includes?

The respiratory zone of the tracheobronchial tree includes the respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, alveolar sacs, and alveoli where gas exchange occurs. This is where oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream.


What is the direction of movement of gas between the blood and the alveolar duct?

Gas moves by diffusion from areas of high concentration to areas of low concentration. In the lungs, oxygen moves from the alveolar ducts into the blood in the capillaries, while carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveolar ducts to be exhaled.


The smallest divisions of the bronchial tree are what?

bronchiolesBronchiolesThese are called bronchioles.bronchiolesbronchiolesthis is the wrong answer, The bronchioles divide into smaller and smaller tubes, ending in microscopic branches that divide into Alveolar ducts, which end in several alveolar sacs.Think of it like a bunch of grapes, the aveolar ducts are the stem, the grape clusters represent an alveolar sac, and each grape represent an alveolus.Alveoli is where the oxygen has to reach to begin gas exchanges between air and blood.Bronchioles


What is the fuction of Alveolar gland in the female breast?

Alveolar glands in the female breast are responsible for producing milk. These glands are activated during pregnancy and breastfeeding to secret milk into the alveoli. The milk is then released through the ducts and nipples to feed the infant.


What is alveolar connective tissue?

Alveolar connective tissue is a type of loose connective tissue found in the alveoli of the lungs. It provides support and structure to the alveoli, which are responsible for gas exchange in the lungs. Additionally, alveolar connective tissue contains capillaries that facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the bloodstream.

What is a conducting structure in the Lungs?

Respiratory bronchioles, alveolar ducts, and alveoli.


Do the alveolar ducts absorb carbon dioxide?

No, alveolar ducts do not absorb carbon dioxide. Instead, the main function of alveolar ducts is to deliver oxygen from the air sacs to the bloodstream and remove carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the air sacs for exhalation.


What would a glandular structure that has three ducts and flasklike sacs be termed?

This is a multicellular exocrine gland. It is also a compound alveolar (or ascinar) type.


Alveolar ducts alveolar sacs terminal bronchioles respiratory bronchioles bronchi bronchioles What is the order from largest to smallest?

The respiratory looks like an upside down tree, from the trunk to the branches and to fruit (such as an apple). From largest to smallest, the respiratory system consists of the throat to main bronchi, to bronchioles, to terminal bronchioles, to alveolar ducts, to alveolar sacs (aveoli look like tiny grapes).
