That is a natural physiological process that occurs in the lungs. It is usually referred to as gas exchange, where the blood is enriched with oxygen as it looses most of its load of carbon dioxide.

How does carbon dioxide move into the blood stream?

Carbon dioxide moves into the bloodstream through a process called diffusion. In the lungs, carbon dioxide from the body's tissues diffuses across the thin walls of the capillaries and into the alveoli, where it is exhaled out of the body when we breathe.


Why does oxygen and carbon dioxide move from the alveoli into the blood stream?

Oxygen moves from the alveoli into the bloodstream through diffusion, where it crosses the thin walls of the alveoli and capillaries. Similarly, carbon dioxide moves from the bloodstream into the alveoli for removal when blood with high levels of carbon dioxide comes into contact with alveolar air with lower levels of carbon dioxide.


How does carbon dioxide get out of your blood?

Diffusion in the capillaries of the alveoli in the lungs.


The gas that goes into the blood stream through the blood is?

Oxygen is brought into the blood stream by inhalation. Carbon dioxide moves out of the cells, into the blood, and taken to the lungs to be exhaled. Oxygen in, carbon dioxide out.


How do capillaries exchange substances between the blood and the tissues?

Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide.


Where does the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide occur?

In the lungs, the diffusion of oxygen occurs from the alveoli (air sacs) into the blood capillaries, while the diffusion of carbon dioxide occurs from the blood capillaries into the alveoli for exhalation. This exchange process is facilitated by differences in partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries.


Where does diffussion happen in the blood stream and the body?

Diffusion occurs in the blood stream primarily in the capillaries, where substances like oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse between the blood and tissues. In the body, diffusion occurs in cells where nutrients and waste products move between the cell membrane and the surrounding fluid to maintain cellular functions.


How carbon dioxide get out your body?

carbon dioxide is expelled from cells into the blood stream, carried to the lungs, and exhaled.


What is the direction of diffusion of gases at the capillaries near systemic cells?

oxygen out of blood, carbon dioxide into blood


Does the exchange of carbon dioxide depend on the concentration of oxygen in the alveoli and the blood?

No. It depends on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli and the blood. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli is higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, so carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli diffuses out of the capillaries into the alveoli of the lungs and is exhaled.


Where does the oxygen enters and carbon dioxide leaves?

Oxygen must enter our blood and Carbon Dioxide must leave the blood through our lungs. They do so by diffusion between the cappillaries.


What substance is removed from the blood stream by the alveoli in the lungs?

Carbon dioxide and water
