What are two gases that enter and exit from the alveolus?

It is carbon dioxide which is collected from different organs of the body by blood


What is gas exchange in the lungs?

The process in which oxygen enters the bloodstream through the alveolus and carbon dioxide exits the bloodstream also through the same alveolus to be exhaled.


What is the difference between alveolus of the lung and the bronchus of the lung?

The bronchus of a lung is the tubes leading up to the alveolus of the lung. The alveolus of a lung is the small air sacs at the end of the bronchi (bronchus). The alveoli is where the gas exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.


What gas bursts into flame when it reaches oxygen?

air will burst into flame in pure oxygen


What happens when a gas reaches its lowest temperature?

What fills the space inside an alveolus?

The alveolus is filled with air, which allows for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the bloodstream. The alveolar walls are lined with a thin layer of fluid that helps facilitate this gas exchange.


Where does the majority of gas exchange occur?

the alveolus


What happens when a liquid reaches its boiling boint?

It turns into gas


What happens when gas reaches its lowest possible temperature?

it settles down


Each alveolus is surrounded by a network of what?

Each alveolus is surrounded by a network of capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide with the surrounding tissues. This network allows efficient gas exchange to occur in the lungs.


What happens to a gas when it reaches it condensation point?

It undergoes a phase change, and turns to liquid.
