What else can I help you with?
The exchange of gasses is the function of the what?
alveoli.
What is the name for this movement of gasses at the surface of the alveolus?
respiration
What are the movement of gasses in and out of the blood?
Gases move in and out of the blood through diffusion. Oxygen from the alveoli in the lungs diffuses into the blood, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. This process is crucial for gas exchange and maintaining the body's pH balance.
How thin walls help the alveoli?
It allows for rapid diffusion of gasses.
The structures within the lung that allow exchange of gasses with the bloodstream are known as?
alveoli?
Why are the membraines in the alveoli thin?
membranes must be thin for efficient diffusion of gasses.
How does partial pressure affect the movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood?
Partial pressure affects the movement of oxygen from the alveoli to the blood because it is the main driving force for oxygen movement in the lungs.Oxygen passes from the air to the fluid within the alveoli, into the cell of the alveoli.
Where in the lungs does diffusion take place and what gasses are diffused?
---------------------------- The exchange of gasses takes place across the Alveoli, which are air spaces surrounded by very small air sacs and have a rich supply of blood, because they are surrounded by capillaries. The lungs are made up of many alveoli which are the respiratory surface. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood in the capillaries into the alveoli.
What is the name of the tiny blood vessels that surround the alveoli in the lungs?
These are called the alveoli capillaries.
Tiny air sacs in the lungs?
They're called alveoli, they increase your lung's surface area and operate the exchange of gasses in and out of your blood. hope that helps.
Movement of air to and from the alveoli is called what?
Ventilation
What does the close arrangement of alveoli and capillaries allows for?
This exchange allows easy diffusion of gasses back and forth.
