Gaseous exchange takes place in the alveoli (in the lungs) -Carbon dioxide is a waste product of aerobic respiration, therefore it is transported via the heart to the lungs to be breathed out in exhalation becasue it isn't needed.

Hope this helps

Does the systematic circulation bring carbon dioxide- filled blood to the lungs?

Yes, the systemic circulation brings carbon dioxide-filled blood from the body's tissues to the lungs through the pulmonary circulation for gas exchange. Oxygen is taken up in the lungs, and carbon dioxide is released before the oxygen-rich blood returns to the heart to be pumped back out to the body.


Which organ gives oxygen to the blood and takes out the carbon dioxide?

Your lungs, as part of the respiratory system, bring oxygen into your body. Nothing removes carbon dioxide though, it's never in your body per se, the oxygen in your blood cells just gets used when your cells travel through your body, then they go to the lungs which in effect just "recharge" them with oxygen again.


What is the purpose of the respiratory system and how does it support the body's functions?

The purpose of the respiratory system is to bring oxygen into the body and remove carbon dioxide. It supports the body's functions by supplying oxygen to cells for energy production and removing waste carbon dioxide to maintain a healthy balance in the blood.


What main stimulus regulates respiration?

The main stimulus that regulates respiration is the level of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, it triggers an increase in breathing rate to expel excess CO2 and bring oxygen levels back to normal. Additionally, sensors in the brainstem monitor pH levels and oxygen levels to fine-tune breathing as needed.


Where does gas exchange happen in the circulatory system?

Within the circulatory system gas exchange happens at two places. First within the lungs where it picks up oxygen and gives up its carbon dioxide. Secondly, within the capillary beds of the tissues to deliver the oxygen (and nutrients) and pick up the carbon dioxide to bring back to the lungs.

The most important signal that the brain uses to set the breathing rate as the level of blood?

The most important signal that the brain uses to regulate breathing rate is the level of carbon dioxide in the blood. When carbon dioxide levels rise, this triggers the brain to increase the breathing rate to expel excess carbon dioxide and bring more oxygen into the body.


What job the lungs perform in eliminating wastes from the body?

Yes, in a way. They take out the carbon dioxide from the blood and put the oxygen back in the blood. The sole purpose of the blood is to get oxygen from the lungs and bring it to other body parts and take the carbon dioxide back to the lungs.

Does the pulmonary circulation bring carbon dioxide filled blood to the lungs?

Yes and it takes oxygen back to the heart to be sent out to the brain and body.
