Where is the site where Gases are exchanged?
Alveoli are site of gas exchange. Actual diffusion of gases occurs at interstitial space between capillaries and alveolar cells.
What is the small tube between the bronchus and the alveoli?
The alveolar duct
Which substances are exchanged between the blood in the capillaries and the air in the alveoli?
Oxygen is exchanged from the air in the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries, while carbon dioxide is exchanged from the blood in the capillaries into the air in the alveoli during the process of respiration.
What is intra-alveolar?
Intra-alveolar means between the alveoli. Focal means within a limited area. There are both adjectives and the phrase is missing a noun. (In other words, focal intra-alveolar...what?)
What is the difference between alveolar sac and an alveolus?
Alveolus is a single structure in the lungs where gas exchange occurs, while alveolar sac is a cluster of alveoli where multiple gas exchange processes happen simultaneously. Alveolar sacs are made up of multiple alveoli grouped together.
What is air sacs within the lungs?
Alveolar means pertaining the the alveolus (plural alveoli), the small air sacs in the lungs.
Where in the respiratory system are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged?
Blood releases carbon dioxide and acquires oxygen, in the lungs. The opposite exchange takes place throughout the body on a cellular level, as each cell consumes oxygen from the blood and releases carbon dioxide into the blood.
Which gas law explains why there is much carbon dioxide exchanged between alveoli as there is oxygen exchanged?
diffusion
What is focal intra-alveolar?
Intra-alveolar means between the alveoli. Focal means within a limited area. There are both adjectives and the phrase is missing a noun. (In other words, focal intra-alveolar...what?)
Where does gas exchange occur between the lungs and blood?
An alveolus (plural: alveoli, from Latin alveolus, "little cavity") is an anatomical structure that has the form of a hollow cavity. Found in the lung parenchyma, the pulmonary alveoli are the dead ends of the respiratory tree, which outcrop from either alveolar sacs or alveolar ducts, which are both sites of gas exchange with the blood as well.
What is alveolar connective tissue?
Alveolar connective tissue is a type of loose connective tissue found in the alveoli of the lungs. It provides support and structure to the alveoli, which are responsible for gas exchange in the lungs. Additionally, alveolar connective tissue contains capillaries that facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the bloodstream.
What are the structures that allow for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and blood?
The tiny air sacs of the lungs were oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged are the alveoli.
