Water can pass from the blood into the air in the alveoli through a process called diffusion. In the alveoli, the concentration of water vapor in the air is lower than in the blood, prompting water molecules to move from the higher concentration in the blood to the lower concentration in the alveolar air. This process is essential for maintaining the moisture balance in the lungs and is a key aspect of gas exchange during respiration. Additionally, this water loss can contribute to the humidity of the exhaled air.
What else can I help you with?
What organ is at the back of the mouth that can both air and water pass through?
The Pharynx is the organ found at the back of the mouth that food, water, and air can all pass through.
Can air pass through water and why?
Air is dissolved in water; all gases have some solubility in liquids.
Do water has air?
Yes, there is air in water; that's how fish breathe. They pass water through their gills and extract the oxygen from it.
Can air pass through water?
Yes, air can pass through water, but the rate at which it does so depends on various factors such as temperature, pressure, and agitation of the water. When air is introduced into water, it tends to rise to the surface due to its lower density compared to water.
Why is alveoli a component of the air blood barrier?
Alveoli are the tiny air sac structures in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. Their thin walls allow oxygen to pass into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to be removed. This makes alveoli a critical component of the air-blood barrier, facilitating efficient exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood.
Can Air fit through a hole that water cannot?
I think a Air molecule is same size as a Water molecule, But I'm not sure.
What is the answers to this question you pass through fire but you do not burn what are you?
either air or water... water evaperates and air does nothing. Amanda Steffey
Name one substance that will pass from the blood plasma to the cells of the air sac?
Carbon dioxide
What objects does light pass through?
For example, air, water, glass.
Were do fish get there air from?
Fish pass water over their 'gills' the gills extract oxygen from the water.
