Alveolar interstitial cell wall
Oxygen
When air enters the empty alveoli in the lungs they become inflated. Now the blood vessels inside the alveoli can take oxygen from this air and put carbon dioxide into it.
air exchange takes place at the juction of blood cappileries and alveoli where the pressure of air is high in alveoli and low in blood so air from alveoli rush into blood and CO2 from blood rush in to alveoli which is then breath out
Gas exchange between the air and the blood occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. The alveoli are tiny air sacs where oxygen from the air diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the air to be exhaled.
No, blood is not transported through the alveoli. The alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs between the lungs and the blood vessels. Oxygen is taken in from the air and carbon dioxide is removed from the blood in the alveoli.
Alveoli which are in your lungs
The alveoli.
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.
Oxygen (O2) is exchanged for carbon dioxide (CO2) in the lungs. In the alveoli, tiny air sacs in the lungs, oxygen from the air is transferred into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide from the blood is released into the air to be exhaled.
The exchange of gases between blood and air occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. Oxygen from the air diffuses into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the air in the alveoli to be exhaled.
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air and blood occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. Oxygen from the air diffuses into the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli, while carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled.
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. The alveoli are small air sacs where oxygen from the air we breathe diffuses into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the bloodstream into the air to be exhaled.
