What else can I help you with?
Where does the blood absorb oxygen in human body?
the blood absorb oxygen in the lungs(cappilaries)
O2 enters the capillaries and ----- from the capillaries passes in to the lungs?
Carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product of respiration, and is taken in the bloodstream to the capillaries outside the lungs, where the CO2 diffuses into the alveoli of the lungs.
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is a?
greater concentration of oxygen in the air sacs of the lungs than in the capillaries.
What do blood capillaries absorb?
Capillaries in Villi absorb all other nutrients except fat.
How are the lungs and the capillaries connected?
The lungs contain air sacs called alveoli which are surrounded by blood capillaries to allow gaseous exchange.
What is the name of the substance found in red blood cells that makes them absorb oxygen easily?
The substance found in red blood cells that helps them absorb oxygen easily is hemoglobin. Hemoglobin is a protein molecule that carries oxygen from the lungs to the body's tissues and returns carbon dioxide from the tissues back to the lungs.
Which substance can absorb oxygen?
Hemoglobin is a protein in red blood cells that can absorb oxygen. It binds to oxygen in the lungs, carries it through the bloodstream, and releases it to cells throughout the body.
Why can lugs obsorb large amount of Oxygen?
They absorb so much oxygen because of the Alveoli. An Alveoli are the endings of small tubes that are located in your lungs and transfer oxygen to your capillaries.
Capillaries are to body tissues as are to lungs?
oxygen
What organ absorbs oxygen from the air?
The respiratory system seems like the obvious answer, but you used the word absorb. The respiratory system takes air into the lungs, but the red blood cells (erythrocytes) absorb the oxygen out of the air taken into the lungs. The circulatory system then delivers these red blood cells to the capillaries where the oxygen is traded for carbon dioxide as the cells need.
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is?
It diffuses because the concentration of oxygen in the capillaries is lower than the concentration of oxygen in the air (law of diffusion).
What process is used to move oxygen into the capillaries of the lungs?
The process used to move oxygen into the capillaries of the lungs is called diffusion. Oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs moves across the thin walls of the alveoli and the capillaries by diffusion, from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, facilitated by the pressure difference between the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries.
