What else can I help you with?
What is the primary gas exchange site in the respiratory system?
alveoli
Which of the following structures is involved in the gas exchange function of the respiratory system?
The alveoli are the structures in the respiratory system that are involved in the gas exchange function. They are tiny air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles in the lungs where oxygen from the air is taken up by the blood and carbon dioxide is released from the blood into the lungs to be exhaled.
What is the elastic unit of the respiratory system where gas exchange occurs?
Alveoli is where gas exchange occurs.
What are the parts of the respiratory system and give the function of each?
The major parts of the respiratory system include the lungs, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. The lungs are the primary organ where gas exchange occurs, the trachea and bronchi function to transport air to and from the lungs, and the bronchioles help regulate airflow. The alveoli are responsible for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the bloodstream.
Where in your respiratory system does the exchange of O2 happen?
Gaseous exchange occurs in the alveoli (singular = alveolus) of the lungs.
Where does gas exhange in the vascular system?
The vascular system, or respiratory system, deals with the exchange of oxygen to carbon dioxide. This exchange occurs in the alveoli sacs
What parts of the respiratory system function as the main sites of gas exchange?
In the respiratory system, it is the alveoli.In the circulatory system, it's the capillaries.They are similar in that both have walls that are only one cell thick, they are both the thinnest parts of their systems, and they are right next to each other. (They diffuse through to each other.)In the respiratory system it's the Alveoli and in the circulatory system it's the capillaries :D
What division of the respiratory system exchanges gases with the blood?
The alveoli is the division of the respiratory system where gas exchange with the blood occurs. Oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses into the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled.
The smallest parts of the respiratory system are the?
alveoli, which are tiny air sacs located in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange occurs.
What is a primary function of a respiratory system?
Gas exchange
What does much part function in respiratory system?
Your question is unclear. Are you asking what does the most in the respiratory system , then tiny little sacs called the alveoli do.
Where in the respiratory system does gas exhcange occur?
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli in the respiratory system. The thin-walled structures allow diffusion of gases into and out of the capillaries.
