What gasses are exchanged in the respiratory system?

Answer 1

Even though the air travels from bronchi to bronchiole to alveoli to have the gase exchanged, the REAL gas exchange happens in the capillary that is on the alveoli. This is where the blood that is carrying CO2 exchanges it with O2 to supply the rest of the body. Without the circulatory system... Well first of all you're going to die without the circulatory system, but for this topic, if you don't have the circulatory system, then the oxygen cannot be exchanged with CO2 and you're body will die from lack of oxygen.

Answer 2

Respiratory gases in animals are exchanged between body fluids and its environment by diffusion. Respiratory gases are transported in the blood. When breathing changes, the body senses this change, and adjusts the production of these gases to stabilize gas levels with rate of breathing.

Answer 3

Gasses are exchanged through diffusion between the walls of the alveoli in the respiratory system and the walls of the capillaries in the circulatory system. The oxygen received from the nsoe and mouth travels down through the esophagus to the lungs, where it will be transfered naturally through the thin walls of the alveoli to the thin walls of the capillaries, which takes the oxygen rich blood up through the heart, which in turn pumps it to the rest of the body. In reverse, oxygen poor blood is pumped back up through the heart, and taken back down to the capillaries, where the blood (now full of carbon dioxide and wastes) will be transfered back through the walls to the alveoli, and back up through the respiratory system in exhalation.

Answer 4

The respiratory system moves oxygen and from the outside environment onto the body it also removes carbon dioxide and water from the body so your answer is oxygen,carbon dioxide, and water is your answer

Answer 5

There are 5 parts involved in respiration:
1. Pulmonary ventilation or breathing.
2. External respiration where air flows into the lungs and gases exchange (O2 load/ CO2 unload) and air goes out.
3. Transport of respiratory gases by way of blood transport from the lungs to body cells and back to lungs.
4. Internal respiration is where exchange of gases occurs at the body capillaries (O2 unload/CO2 load).
5. Cellular respiration which is the use of oxygen by cells to produce energy (production of CO2).

Answer 6

This is doe by simple diffusion across the concentration gradient. The carbon dioxide moves from circulatory system to respiratory system.

Answer 7

The oxygen goes in the blood from the lungs. The carbon bi oxide goes to the lungs from the blood.

Answer 8

Carbon dioxide

Answer 9

oxygen and carbon dioxide
