When the blood is pumped through the body, it delivers essential oxygen for cells to function. When the blood becomes oxygen-poor, it goes past the lungs, in which the gas exchange, where the oxygen poor blood releases carbon dioxide, which is a bi product of the system (and is to be breathed out), and retrieves the air from the lungs, to begin the process again.

Where does oxygen enter the blood and carbon dioxide leave the blood?

Oxygen must enter our blood and Carbon Dioxide must leave the blood through our lungs. They do so by diffusion between the cappillaries.


What process will cause the oxygen to leave the blood?

Oxygen leaves the blood through the process of diffusion across the alveoli in the lungs into the bloodstream. This occurs due to differences in oxygen concentration between the air in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries surrounding them.


What organ does the oxygen-carbon Dioxide take place?

Oxygen is brought into the blood, and carbon dioxide released from the blood, at the alveoli of the lungs. Gases diffuse across the alveolar membrane to enter or leave the blood.


Where does the oxygen enters and carbon dioxide leaves?

Oxygen must enter our blood and Carbon Dioxide must leave the blood through our lungs. They do so by diffusion between the cappillaries.


What principles govern whether oxygen or carbon dioxide to enter and leave the blood in the lungs and in the tissue?

Diffusion


Where in the human body does oxygen enter the blood and carbon leave the blood?

Oxygen enters the blood through the alveoli in the lungs during respiration, while carbon dioxide leaves the blood at the same location to be exhaled. This exchange of gases occurs through the process of diffusion.


Where does blood go when it finally leave the heart?

Back throughout the veins. It carries the now oxygen rich blood vessels to your organs so you can live! :)


What happens to blood when it leave the alveoli?

It is returned back to the heart to be sent throughout the body to deliver nutrients such as oxygen.


State two substances that pass into the blood?

Two substances that pass into the blood include oxygen and carbon dioxide. The blood carries fresh oxygen to the cells and tissues and removes waste materials.


Why oxygen molecules in the tissues of the lung go into the blood and then in other tissues the oxygen molecules leave the blood.?

This process is thru the use of passive transport. The oxygen in you lungs are of a higher concentration than it is in your blood and since hemoglobin likes oxygen it moves naturally into the the blood supply in the lungs. Your blood is then returned to the heart and pumped throughout the body. Because your blood has more oxygen in it than your cells do the blood thru the use of passive transport again give the oxygen to the cells and pick up waste product and carbon dioxide to be returned eventually to the heart. Your blood is then returned to the lungs where the blood once again disposes of the carbon dioxide thru the use of passive transport and picks up oxygen.


Where does carbon dioxide leave the body?

The red blood cells in your body contain oxygen and carbon dioxide. So, as the red blood cells travel through your bloodstream, the oxygen travels through to your heart, then your lungs, along with the oxygen.


Why are lungs important?

Lungs contain avleoli ( little air sacs) where oxygen is relased into capillaries(veins that carry blood). The blood becomes oxygenated and then travels to the heart to be pumped throughout the body. They supply the body with oxygen and remove carbon dioxide.
