What else can I help you with?
What is the similarities between gills and lungs?
They both help the organism to have gaseous exchange with its surrounding
How does 300 million alveoli help gaseous exchange?
because it does
Why do the walls of the capillaries and aveoli need to be thin?
The walls of alveoli are thin to allow the exchange of gases (Co2 and O2) between blood capillaries and the aveoli in the lungs.
What is the function of a leafs stomata?
Help in gaseous exchange
Are the lungs made up of thick fibrous tissue?
No, the lungs are primarily made up of spongy, elastic tissue called alveoli, which are surrounded by thin walls that allow for gas exchange. The fibrous tissue in the lungs is mainly found in the supportive structures that help maintain the shape and function of the lungs.
Why are lung arterioles relatively thin-walled?
Lung arterioles are relatively thin-walled to allow for gas exchange to occur easily. Thin walls help facilitate the diffusion of oxygen from the air sacs in the lungs into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide out of the bloodstream and into the air sacs. This design maximizes efficiency of gas exchange in the lungs.
Dos the cardiovascular system help remove waste products from the body?
The cardiovascular system helps to remove carbon dioxide from the body during gaseous exchange between the capillaries and the cells by transporting it back to the lungs to be exhaled. This is a form of excretion.
Why does the lungs having moist surfaces help improve gas exchange?
Surfactant
Which blood vessels in the lungs help your body take in and give out gases?
Gas exchange happens in the bed of CAPILLARIES in the lungs.
How is the trachea adapted for gas exchange in lungs?
It isnt. There is no gas exchange in the trachea this takes place at the alveoli.
How do sacs in your lungs help with the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during respiration?
The sacs in your lungs, called alveoli, are where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place during respiration. Oxygen from the air you breathe enters the bloodstream through the thin walls of the alveoli, while carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream into the alveoli to be exhaled. This exchange is facilitated by the large surface area and close proximity of the alveoli to the blood vessels, allowing for efficient gas exchange.
How do the walls of alveoli help in respiration?
If your lungs were simply two large balloon-like structures, the surface area wouldn’t be big enough for you to get enough oxygen by diffusion to supply the needs of your cells.But each alveolus is a very tiny sphere. The smaller the radius of a sphere, the bigger the relative surface area – halving the radius increases the relative surface area by a factor of four.The millions of tiny alveoli in the human lungs are a very effective adaptation which provides a huge surface area for gaseous exchange into and out of the blood.
