What takes place between the alveoli and capillaries in the lungs?

When you inhale, air fills the alveoli and oxygen passes from the alveoli through a semipermeable membrane and into the capillaries, leading into the bloodstream.

Dead space volume?

Dead space volume is when some of the inspired air fills the conducting respiratory passageways and never contributes to gas exchange in the alveoli.


Do alveoli take oxygen to the blood?

Yes, alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs. When we inhale, oxygen from the air fills the alveoli, and it diffuses across their thin walls into the surrounding capillaries, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. This process effectively transfers oxygen to the bloodstream, allowing it to be delivered to tissues throughout the body.
