A thin wall in the alveoli facilitates efficient gas exchange by minimizing the distance oxygen and carbon dioxide must travel between the air in the alveoli and the blood in the surrounding capillaries. This thin membrane, composed of a single layer of cells, allows for rapid diffusion of gases due to the large surface area provided by the numerous alveoli in the lungs. Additionally, the thin walls help maintain a high concentration gradient, which is essential for effective oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide removal.
What else can I help you with?
What is the main job of the alveoli?
The alveoli, the small sacs of air at the ends of the terminal bronchioles, are the sites of the exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide.
How do you get help on a job in Mafia Wars?
to get a job help in Mafia Wars, you will need to click the "ask mafia for help" button on a desired job tier and post it in the wall and your mafia friends will help you finish the job.
What are the features of a capillary cell that makes it good at its job?
Thin cell wall - facilitates permeability of gases and blood. High surface-to-volume ratio
What would happen if the alveoli couldn't do their job?
A person would suffocate.
How moist lining help alveoli help it to do good job?
The wall is thin to allow rapid andefficient diffusion across of O2 into the blood and CO2 into the alveolar space (the air). It is moist for many reasons but primarily because diffusion in this form must be in slution.
The job of alveoli?
The tiny sacs within the lungs which allow oxygen and carbon dioxide to move between the lungs and the bloodstream is called alveoli. It is needed by the body to supply oxygen.
How does the shape of a vein help it do its job?
Veins have to carry blood for diffusion, therefore they muse be thin in order for diffusion to easily occur.
What job is the lungs allow the blood to do?
Exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in the alveoli of the lung, then transfer it to the heart
What happens to your alveoli when you smoke?
Smoking affects the alveoli in the lungs because when the red blood cells absorb oxygen into the alveoli when the smoke is mixing with the clean oxygen it becomes unhealthy for your lungs and dangerous.
What is the job of the alveolie?
This type of plant can heal wombs that have been left on the skin. People have been using alveoli for ages
How are lungs adapted to their jobs?
Lungs are adapted to their job of exchanging oxygen and carbon dioxide through a large surface area with millions of tiny air sacs called alveoli, which allows for efficient gas exchange. The walls of the alveoli are thin and surrounded by a network of small blood vessels, enabling oxygen to diffuse into the blood and carbon dioxide to diffuse out. The lungs are elastic and can expand and contract to support breathing.
What is the job of a cellwall?
A job of a cell wall is to PROTECT the cells and nucules insidde!!
