Oxygen enters the body through the nose or mouth, travels down the trachea to the lungs, where it passes through the bronchial tubes and into the smaller air sacs called alveoli. In the alveoli, oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide through the process of diffusion and is then carried by red blood cells to the body's cells for energy production.

When electric current is passed through water which gas is produced on cathode?

When electric current is passed through water, hydrogen gas is produced at the cathode. This is because water molecules (H2O) are split into hydrogen (H2) and oxygen (O2) gases through electrolysis. The hydrogen gas is evolved at the negative electrode, which is the cathode.

What is resiratory?

"Respiratory" means breathing. The Respiratory System is one of the systems of the body; others include the integumentary system, the reproductive system, the nervous system, etc. The respiratory system is that system whereby oxygen is taken into the lungs through inhalation, passed through into the blood, circulated throughout the body down to the capillaries, followed by the transport of CO2 via the blood back to the lungs and out of the body through exhalation.Basically, it involves breathing and your lungsBreathing.


Why does your heat pump faster when you exercise?

How does a lion perform gas exchange?

Lions get oxygen in the same way that all mammals do. They inhale through their nose or mouth. Air goes down the trachea into the bronchi and bronchioles of the lungs. Oxygen and carbon dioxide pass through the cell membranes of the alveoli. The lion exhales through its nose or mouth.
