An alveous is an air sack ath the the end of each stem thing in the lung. They are surrounded by cappilaries. The air is stored in the alveoli and an diffusion occurs of the oxgen moving through the thin wall of the alveolus into the blood and the carbon dioxide moving into the alveolus and then the carbon dioxide is brethed out
What else can I help you with?
Which part of the lower respiratory tract is made up of tiny air sacs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged?
alveoil
Describe clearly the exchange of gases that occur between the air in the alveoil and the bloodstream?
In the alveoli, oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses across the alveolar membrane into the bloodstream, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste product, diffuses from the bloodstream into the alveoli to be exhaled. This exchange of gases is facilitated by the concentration gradients of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and the blood.
What from fresh air that is inhaled is added to the blood in the capillaries of alveoil?
When fresh air is inhaled, oxygen is the primary substance that is added to the blood in the capillaries of the alveoli. As air enters the alveoli, oxygen diffuses across the alveolar membrane into the capillaries, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. This process is essential for delivering oxygen to tissues throughout the body, supporting cellular respiration and energy production. Additionally, carbon dioxide, a waste product, is released from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled.
How do the respiratory system and circulatory system work together?
The circulatory system transports oxygen through the body and the respiratory system supplies that oxygen. The respiratory system performs a process known as gas exchange that releases carbon dioxide from the body and brings in oxygen. This occurs in the lungs, and the circulatory system then transports the oxygen to tissues that used internal respiration to burn fuel in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) for energy, thus creating more carbon dioxide. The alveoil transport oxygen from the lungs into the circulatory system. You breathe in oxygen into your lungs. The oxygen diffuses across the thin walls of the alveoli in the lungs and the thin walls of the blood vessels in the lungs into the blood stream. Here it attaches to the hemoglobin molecules inside red blood cells. The red blood cells are carried by the blood vessels to all parts of the body. The hemoglobin releases oxygen in the periphery, and picks up carbon dioxide (CO2). The CO2 attached to the hemoglobin molecules in the red blood cells is then transported to the lungs, where it diffuses across the walls into the alveoli, and is breathed out.Respiratory System - GETS the oxygen needed for cellsCirculatory System - DELIVERS the oxygen to cellsThe respiratory system is related to your circulatory system because your respiratory system helps you breathe in oxygen. Your blood is pumped to the lungs to pick up oxygen, then flows back to the heart to be pumped to the rest of your body to meet the needs of your body. I hope that helped! :P
