What else can I help you with?
How does oxygen from the alveoli reaches the heart?
From the Alveoli, it transfers to red blood cells, which travels through the circulation and reaches the heart.
What leaves the blood when the heart pumps oxygen-poor blood to the alveoli where the oxygen enters?
When the heart pumps oxygen-poor blood to the alveoli, carbon dioxide leaves the blood. This gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs, where carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli and is then exhaled. Simultaneously, oxygen from the inhaled air enters the blood, allowing for the replenishment of oxygen levels. This process is essential for maintaining proper respiratory function and overall cellular metabolism.
Where does blood get new oxygen?
In the lungs. The blood is pumped from the right side of the heart to the lungs. Air moves into the trachea, the bronchi and finally to the alveoli. From the alveoli oxygen diffuses into the microcapilaries (small blood vessels) of the lungs.
What is the body organ which oxygen passes through to capillaries?
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
How can you the oxygen you bring into your body get into the circulatory system?
The oxygen in each breath is circuited to the lungs where the alveoli absorb the oxygen and passed to the blood cells. The blood cells enter the heart where the oxygenated blood is circulated where needed.
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 blood when it leave the alveoli?
It is returned back to the heart to be sent throughout the body to deliver nutrients such as oxygen.
What tissue do both the heart and lungs rely on do their jobs for the body?
The heart and lungs rely heavily on blood, a liquid connective tissue, to carry out their function. The heart pumps the oxygen-containing blood throughout the body. The blood picks up oxygen at the alveoli of the lungs.
What is the function of the alveoli system of your lungs?
gas exchanging
How do alveoli and capillaries help to get oxygen?
The alveoli is the point where the waste product of respiration (carbon dioxide) and oxygen are diffused into or out of the blood. Oxygen diffuses into the blood stream and are carried to the heart and carbon dioxide is diffused out of the lungs and expired. The alveoli have moist walls and are close to the capillaries which speeds up the process.
