In the lungs, cells called alveoli form a thin membrane between the lungs and the capillaries. The alveoli extract oxygen from the air inhaled by the diaphragm, and transfers the oxygen to hemoglobin in red blood cells, which transport the oxygen to other parts of the body.
simple diffusion, where oxygen molecules move from an area of higher concentration (in the blood) to an area of lower concentration (in tissue fluid) through a semipermeable membrane. This allows oxygen to reach cells in the tissues where it is needed for cellular respiration.
Simple squamous epithelial tissue allows osmosis and diffusion to happen due to its thin and permeable nature. It allows for the movement of molecules across the tissue through passive processes like osmosis and diffusion.
diffusion from red blood cells in capillaries to the tissue cells
Diffusion occurs in fish primarily in their gills, where oxygen from water diffuses into the blood and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood into the water. This process allows fish to obtain the oxygen they need for respiration and to rid their bodies of waste carbon dioxide.

Diffusion
Epithelial cells obtain nutrients and oxygen from the underlying connective tissue via diffusion. Metabolic waste products are removed through diffusion into the connective tissue and subsequently cleared by the bloodstream and lymphatic system. The efficiency of these processes is essential for maintaining the health and function of the epithelium.
Metabolites exchange by diffusion with tissue cells at the capillaries in the circulatory system. Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels where the exchange of nutrients, oxygen, and waste products occurs between the blood and the surrounding tissue cells.
Epithelial tissue lacks blood vessels. Instead, it receives nutrients and oxygen through diffusion from nearby blood vessels in the underlying connective tissue.
Normal lung tissue floats because of all the aveoli (tiny air pockets).
The partial pressure of oxygen in the heart varies depending on the specific location within the heart. Generally, it ranges from 30-50 mmHg in the coronary arteries to around 20 mmHg in the cardiac chambers. This partial pressure gradient allows for the diffusion of oxygen from the blood into the heart tissue for proper functioning.
