What causes oxygen from the water to diffuse into the blood?
the lungs causes oxygen from the water to diffuse into the blood
How does the fetus obtain food and oxygen?

How does cartilage survive without any blood vessels running through it?
Nutrients, oxygen, etc. diffuse from nearby blood vessels through the matrix of the cartilage to reach the chondrocytes residing in their lacunae.
What do capillaries do in your bodies?
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in your body and act as the exchange point for oxygen.
How do cells inside lacunae receive oxygen?
Cells inside lacunae receive oxygen through diffusion from nearby blood vessels. Blood vessels supply oxygen to surrounding tissues, which then diffuse into the lacunae where the cells reside. This process ensures that the cells inside lacunae receive the necessary oxygen for their metabolism.
What gas diffuse from the tissues to the blood?
Both oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse from body tissues into the blood.
Does oxygen dilate blood vessels?

Oxygen diffuse into the blood at the alveoli?
Carbon dioxide does.
What gas diffuses from the tissues to the blood?
Both oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse from body tissues into the blood.
What is the exchange of gases between the blood and air?
Diffusion. In the lungs, oxygen will diffuse into de-oxygenated blood (oxygen was removed from the blood in the body) and carbon dioxide will diffuse out of the blood into the lungs and expelled from your body when you breathe out.
Why are there blood vessels around the brain?
The blood vessels around the brain help supply energy for your brain
What supplies the skin with nutrients and oxygen?
Blood vessels in the dermis layer of the skin supply nutrients and oxygen to skin cells. These blood vessels bring in nutrients and oxygen from the rest of the body through the bloodstream.
