What else can I help you with?
What sort of blood vessels are surrounding the air sacs in your lungs?
Capillaries are the blood vessels that surround the alveoli, or air sacs, in your lungs. These capillaries are the site of gas exchange.
What do the air vessels in the lungs send to the cells by way of blood vessels?
The air sacs send oxygen to the cells.
What organs that fill blood with oxygen is?
The lungs are the primary organs that fill blood with oxygen. Oxygen from the air is inhaled into the lungs, where it moves into the bloodstream through tiny blood vessels called capillaries surrounding the lungs' air sacs.
Where is simple squamous epithelium location?
kidney glomeruli, air sacs of the lungs, lining of the heart, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels, lining of the ventral cavity (serosae).
What takes air into the air sacs?
air sacs are in the lungs and when you breathe in blood carries it to the lungs.
What Carbon dioxide is removed from the bloodstream by?
lungs
What tiny air sacs of the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged?
The tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged are called alveoli. They are surrounded by blood vessels through which gas exchange takes place during the process of respiration.
What are the air sacs in the lungs that can damaged by smoking tobacco?
A lot of the lung tissue can be damaged by smoking, but you seem to be asking about the alveoli (singular = alveolus). These are small sacs surrounded by blood vessels that are located at the end of the various branches of the air passageways inside the lungs.
What are the tiny blood vessels that wrap around the air sacs?
Capillaries . The smallest of the blood vessels: capillaries.
Why do lungs have lots of air sacs?
Because the air sacs carry oxygen to the blood!
What Sacs in lungs that move oxygen to blood?
They are the alveoli.
Why is oxygen poor blood pumped to the lungs?
The lungs take in oxygen, this oxygen travels down to the alveoli (thin, permeable sacs), which are covered in blood vessels, and the oxygen travels into the blood due to a pressure difference and CO2 goes from the blood to the lungs to be exhaled. The body needs that oxygen for almost every system in the body.
