Does the pulmonary artery in adults carry 02-rich or 02-poor?

O2 poor. Pulmonary veins carry O2 rich blood.


What gas exchange is made in the pulmonary capillaries?

CO2 and O2


What is the function of a pulmonary arteriole?

a pulmonary artieriole is part of the respiratory system. inside the respiratory system is an organ called alveoli and the alveoli are covered in a network of capillary. the job of the pulmonary arteriole is to carry deoxygenated blood into the capillary network.


Do artreies always carry 02 rich blood?

Not always. The pulmonary artery and the pulmonary vein reverse the general roles of O2 rich and poor blood. The pulmonary artery carries O2 poor blood to the lungs and the pulmonary vein carries O2 rich blood back to the heart in order to be sent to the rest of the body.


What happens to the blood inside the pulmonary capillaries?

Gasses are exchanged (CO2 is lost & O2 is gained).


How many does the o2 academy leeds hold?

The O2 Academy Leeds has a capacity of around 2,300 people.


Does pulmonary vein blood vessels carry o2 rich blood in adults?

Yes, in children also. The pulmonary veins carry oxygen rich blood from the lungs to the heart.


Does the pulmonary artery in adults carry 02 -rich or 02 -poor blood?

o2 poor blood


The diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide into and out of the blood occurs in the?

If I'm not wrong, the O2 is carried from your lungs by red blood cells, then is passed to the muscles which need it through the walls of the blood vessels, while they take CO2 from the muscles to bring it back to the lungs to expel. So... it occurs through the bloodstream and the walls of the blood vessels (capillary vessels etc.)


What is the normal partial pressure of carbon dioxide in pulmonary arteries?

That depends on whether you are asking about the red blood cells themselves, or the blood as a whole. The fluid portion of the blood will have a O2 partial pressure around 20%, but the red blood cells will have an O2 partial pressure nearing 100%.


What is the Diffusion of gases between alveoli and blood?

The Diffusion is the exchange of oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) between the alveoli and the blood. So blood that is pumping through the capillaries in the lungs has a low concentration of O2 and a high concentration of CO2, in the alveoli it is high concentration O2 low concentration CO2. Therefore the 2 gases exchange across the alveoli membrane by diffusion trying to establish a concentration gradient.


What is the molecular formula of 'normal' oxygen?

The molecular formula of 'normal' oxygen is O2, indicating that it consists of two oxygen atoms chemically bonded together.
