What are the two gases in blood entering and leaving the lungs?
The two main gases exchanged in blood entering and leaving the lungs are oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). Blood entering the lungs, via the pulmonary arteries, is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide. As it passes through the alveoli, oxygen is absorbed into the blood while carbon dioxide is released from the blood into the lungs. Consequently, blood leaving the lungs, via the pulmonary veins, is rich in oxygen and low in carbon dioxide.
When holding breath what are you preventing from entering your body?
