What are the thin-walled vessels of the circulatory system where most oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged?
No, all gas exchange is done through capillaries. Both veins and arteries are too thick and contain muscle layers that prevent gas exchange. However, capillaries are small enough (blood cells can only pass through one at a time) that oxygen can pass to the tissues and carbon dioxide can pass to the RBCs.

What are small vessels where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide?
Capillaries are the small blood vessels where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide. They are located throughout the body and allow for the exchange of gases between the blood and tissues.
What two gases are exchanged across the lining of a frog's mouth?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged across the lining of a frog's mouth. Oxygen is absorbed from the air into the blood vessels, while carbon dioxide is released into the air from the blood vessels.
Tiny thin blood vessels where carbon dioxide are exchanged?
I believe the tiny blood vessels are called capillaries, located in the lungs.
What are the small vessels called where substances such as nutrientoxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged for substances in the tissue fluid surrounding body cells?
Capillaries
What tiny air sacs of the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged?
The tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged are called alveoli. They are surrounded by blood vessels through which gas exchange takes place during the process of respiration.
What does it mean to have an open-circulatory system?
An open circulatory system is a type of circulatory system found in some invertebrates, where blood is pumped into an open body cavity called a hemocoel. The organs are bathed in this blood, and nutrients and waste are exchanged directly with the cells. Unlike closed circulatory systems, which have blood contained within vessels, open circulatory systems have a more limited ability to control the flow and direction of blood.
Blood vessels in the dermis that carry oxygen and food?
Arteries to arterioles to capillaries where exchange occurs. Oxygen and nutrients are exchanged for carbon dioxide and wastes.
The system consists of the heart and blood vessels?
The circulatory system consists of the heart and blood vessels.
What is the system when oxygen from the lungs is transported to the body's cells?
The circulatory system transports oxygen from the lungs to the body's cells. Oxygen is picked up by red blood cells in the lungs and carried through blood vessels to tissues and organs where it is exchanged for carbon dioxide. This process is essential for cellular respiration and producing energy in the body.
List major vessels in the circulatory system?
The circulatory system includes three major vessels. These are capillaries, arteries and veins. Arterioles and venules are part of the vessels as well.
What brings oxygen to the blood?
When you inhale, your breath is drawn into your lungs, and is exchanged for Carbon Dioxide. The oxygen is 'traded' for Carbon Dioxide from your blood vessels, which leaves the body when you exhale. In other words, inhaling brings Oxygen to your blood.
What are tiny blood vessels in which substances are exchanged between the blood and body cell?
The capillary is the only blood vessel where things can be exchanged because it is so thin (one cell thick). Capillaries have a single cell layer of squamous epithilium.
