What else can I help you with?
Where does the exchange of gases between blood air occur?
The exchange of gases between blood and air occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. Oxygen from the air diffuses into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the air in the alveoli to be exhaled.
What occurs as air rushes into the lungs from the environment to equalize air pressure?
Air rushes into your lungs until an equilibrium of pressures is achieved.
Under what conditions does air tend to flow into the lungs?
Air tends to flow into the lungs when thoracic volume increases and pressure decreases. When the opposite is true, air leaves the lungs.
Air sac where oxygen enters and corbon dioxide leaves the blood?
This is the alveoli, which are tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. Oxygen diffuses from the air into the blood, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the air in the alveoli.
What happen to your lunges when you exhale?
when you inhale your lungs expand when you exhale they deflate because the air leaves the lungs.
What takes place when exhaling or inhaling?
Air enters or leaves your lungs.
Why is it different when the composition of the air as it enters the lung compaerd to when it leaves the lung?
The air that enters the lungs is richer in oxygen when it enters the lungs. when it leaves it has more carbon dioxide and less oxygen as the lungs expel carbon dioxde and some unused oxygen.
What are the air spaces in the lungs called?
The air spaces in the lungs are called pulmonary alveoli. They are where gas exchange occurs in the lungs of mammals.
Where does oxygenation occurs in the body?
normally the oxygen transfer from the lungs to the cells through haemoglobin in most of the animals. the oxygen transfer occurs in lungs from the atmospheric air.
Period of breathing when air leaves the lungs?
Inspiration.
What occurs when the air pressure in the lungs is higher than in the atmosphere?
When the air pressure in the lungs is higher than in the atmosphere, air will flow out of the lungs to equalize the pressure. This is called exhalation. It allows the body to get rid of carbon dioxide and regulate oxygen levels.
Breathing occurs because of air pressure differences between the lungs and the?
Atmosphere
