Capillaries surrounding cells pick up blood containing Water (dissolved in the plasma) and carbon dioxide (on the red blood cells) to bring it back through the veins and to the lungs. If I didn't answer your question or you want to ask more, post a message on my message board!
What else can I help you with?
What does capillaries in the lungs pick up?
They pick up oxygen
Does blood pick up oxygen in the capillaries of the lungs?
Yes it does
Where do blood cells pick up oxygen?
In the lungs, in the alveolar capillaries
How does blood pick up oxygen from the lungs?
In the lungs, oxygen diffuses from the air sacs (alveoli) into the surrounding capillaries. These capillaries are thin-walled and have a large surface area for efficient gas exchange. The oxygen then binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells, forming oxyhemoglobin, which is then carried by the bloodstream to the tissues.
Where does gas exchange happen in the circulatory system?
Within the circulatory system gas exchange happens at two places. First within the lungs where it picks up oxygen and gives up its carbon dioxide. Secondly, within the capillary beds of the tissues to deliver the oxygen (and nutrients) and pick up the carbon dioxide to bring back to the lungs.
Do capillaries pick up waste matericals from the cells?
yes
The process in which blood capillaries pick up digested nutrients is?
absorption
What are the elastic sac-like structures in the lungs that are lined up with the capillaries?
They are called Alveoli.
When Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs enters the heart at what structure?
The alveoli of the lungs are surrounded by capillaries. As the blood travels through the capillaries, the red blood cells become oxygenated and give up their load of CO2
What red blood cell pick up in the lung?
Red blood cells pick up oxygen and deposit carbon dioxide at the lungs
What is the name of the blood vessel that carries oxygen to the cells and pick up waste?
Capillaries
Why lungs are red in colour?
Lungs contain lots of blood. Blood goes to the lungs to pick up oxygen.
