diffusion
the blood surround Alveoli in order to gas exchange between the Alveoli and red blood cell.
To allow Oxygen to travel to every Cell in a living organism there is a gas exchange between nearby Capillaries and the cells of that organism.The same exchange works the other direction to take away waste products of cell living
Oxygen exchange between alveoli and blood capillaries in the lungs
gas exchange occurs between the thin walls of the alveoli and the thin walls of the capillaries
Oxygen is exchanged from the air in the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries, while carbon dioxide is exchanged from the blood in the capillaries into the air in the alveoli during the process of respiration.
Capillaries are tiny thin-walled blood vessels that connect the smallest arteries and veins and allow the exchange of nutrients and waste between the blood and tissues. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the circulatory and respiratory systems; oxygen diffuses from the lungs into the bloodstream and is transported by erythrocytes (red blood cells) throughout the body. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood into the alveoli and goes the reverse direction through the respiratory system and out the nose.
When we exhale /blow out we push out all the carbon dioxide in our lungs!
Capillaries cover the alveoli in order to maximize the area for gas exchange between the lungs and the blood. Carbon dioxide is released from the blood through the capillary walls and into the alveoli, while oxygen is picked up from the alveoli through the capillary walls and into the blood.
Lungs do not pump blood. They are the site of gas exchange between capillaries and alveoli.
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. These tiny air sacs are surrounded by capillaries where oxygen from the air can enter the bloodstream and carbon dioxide can be removed from the blood.
Alveoli- these are the small sac-like structures where gas exchange occurs with the blood. Its creates an ideal site for gas exchange between the air in the lungs and the blood in the capillaries.
