What process is responsible for the exchange of gases in the alveoli and the blood?

The difference in the partial pressure of the gases in the blood coming to the lungs and the alveoli mediated the gas exchange. Without this difference we wont be able to breathe. Diaphragm in the thoracic cavity plays an important role in exchange of these respiratory gases.

What happens in the alveoli in the process of gas exchange.?
Alveoli- these are the small sac-like structures where gas exchange occurs with the blood. Its creates an ideal site for gas exchange between the air in the lungs and the blood in the capillaries.
What are responsible for gas exchange in the lungs?
The partial pressures of each of the gasses, as present in the blood and in the alveoli.
What is the role of the alveoli in the respite system?
Alveoli exchange Oxygen with blood in capillaries
Where does the exchange of gases between blood air occur?
Simply put, the gas exchange occurs in the lungs. More specifically, the blood exchange occurs at the avoli, the "air sacs" in the lungs where the surrounding capillaries can be oxygenated.
In gas exchange what passes from the blood to the alveoli?
Oxygen
How does the body exchange carbon dioxide in the blood?
alveoli
What are the tiny sacs that exchange gas with the blood?
alveoli
Where in the lung does exchange of O2 and CO2 take place?
It takes place between the alveoli and the blood capillaries
How the air is exchanged from the lungs to the blood?
air exchange takes place at the juction of blood cappileries and alveoli where the pressure of air is high in alveoli and low in blood so air from alveoli rush into blood and CO2 from blood rush in to alveoli which is then breath out
Why do capillaries cover the alveoli?
Capillaries cover the alveoli in order to maximize the area for gas exchange between the lungs and the blood. Carbon dioxide is released from the blood through the capillary walls and into the alveoli, while oxygen is picked up from the alveoli through the capillary walls and into the blood.
What part of the body is most responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
The lungs exchange gases with the air. The lungs will take in fresh, oxygen filled blood and circulate it throughout the body. The lungs will then expel the air, and start the process all over again.
Which blood component is responsible for oxygen exchange?
Red blood cells are responsible for oxygen exchange
