What else can I help you with?
Air travels through the respiratory system to tiny sacs called?
alveoli
What is the name of the respiratory surface in humans?
The respiratory surface in humans is called the alveoli. These tiny air sacs in the lungs are where gas exchange occurs, with oxygen from the air we breathe passing into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide moving out.
What are the organs of the lower respiratory system?
these are as follows: brochus,branches of bronchus called bronchii, alveoli
What does much part function in respiratory system?
Your question is unclear. Are you asking what does the most in the respiratory system , then tiny little sacs called the alveoli do.
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.
Why are the alveoli sometimes called respiratory membrane?
The alveoli are sometimes refer to as the respiratory membrane. This due to the transfer of gases that occurs between the epithelium (the membrane) and the capillaries (the blood). When Oxygen and carbon dioxide transfer across this membrane through diffusion Oxygen goes into the blood and Carbon dioxide is diffused out into the Alveoli.
How does material from the respiratory system to the circulatory system?
Material moves from the respiratory system to the circulatory system by diffusing across a membrane in the air sacks called alveoli.
In the respiratory system oxygen enters the blood and carbon dioxide leaves the blood in clusters of sacs called what?
Alveoli.
What are the air sacs in clusters in the lungs?
They are called Alveoli. They act as the primary gas exchange. Their wall is thin, and is surrounded by capillaries. This allows exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the respiratory and circulatory systems.
How does the material move from the respiratory system to the circular system?
Material moves from the respiratory system to the circulatory system by diffusing across a membrane in the air sacks called alveoli.
How does materials move from the respiratory system to the circulatory system?
Material moves from the respiratory system to the circulatory system by diffusing across a membrane in the air sacks called alveoli.
What terminates in a grape like cluster of respiratory structures?
Grape-like clusters of respiratory structures are called alveoli, found at the end of bronchioles in the lungs. Each alveolus is surrounded by tiny blood vessels where gas exchange occurs, allowing for the intake of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide from the body.
