Gaseous exchange is the movement of oxygen in the body, it takes place in the lungs through diffusion by the alveolar surface. There are millions of alveloi in the lungs, which gives it around 70m2 of exchange surface.
Gaseous exchange takes place in the lungs, specifically in the alveoli. Oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide from the bloodstream diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled.
Smoking causes damage to the respiratory system, including the cilia in the lungs. This leads to inflammation and narrowing of the airways, making it harder to exchange gases like oxygen and carbon dioxide. Over time, smoking can impair lung function and decrease the efficiency of gaseous exchange, leading to respiratory problems like chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD).
Carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream into the alveoli in the lungs, to be exhaled during expiration.
Stingrays do not have a specialized respiratory system for gaseous exchange like other marine animals. They rely on the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide through their skin and gills to exchange gases with their surroundings. Oxygen is taken up from the water and carbon dioxide is released as waste.
Nitrogen-fixing bacteria, such as Rhizobium and Azotobacter, are capable of converting gaseous nitrogen in the air into a form that other living organisms can use, such as ammonia or nitrate. These bacteria form symbiotic relationships with plants, providing them with usable nitrogen in exchange for carbohydrates.
gaseous exchange
Gaseous exchange is a natural process, ventilation is a forced process.
The site for gaseous exchange is the lungs. Carbon dioxide is exhaled and is substituted for oxygen which is inhaled.
gaseous exchange - in the alveolis
alveoli is the site for gaseous exchange. They are the air filled sacs where carbon dioxide and oxygen is exchanged
