The gas that the alveoli give to the blood is primarily oxygen. Once oxygen enters the bloodstream through the alveolar-capillary membrane, it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells and is transported to tissues throughout the body. Meanwhile, carbon dioxide, which is a waste product from cellular metabolism, is transferred from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. This exchange helps maintain proper gas levels in the body and supports cellular respiration.

What gas exchange occurs in the alveoli and the body cells?
In alveoli: molecular oxigen - go in (to blood vessels) Carbon dioxid - go out (from blood vessels) In Cells: molecular oxigen - go in (to mitochondrion) Carbon dioxid - go out (from mitochondrion & cytoplasm)
What order does alveoli lung trachea nose and bronchi go in to reach the blood?
The correct order is:nosetracheamain bronchusbronchi (two) which is part of the lungsbronchioles - tinier than the bronchialveolismall capillaries surround each alveoli and cover each alveoli's surface-- CO2 passes from the alveoli to the venous blood supply; the blood passes O2 to alveoli and into the arterial blood supply
Blood goes into lung alveoli?
Blood does not go into the alveoli, that would only result from a hemorrhage. Blood does come close to the alveolar sacs via small capillaries that are there to perform an action called gas exchange. This process occurs as a result of diffusion and releases the carbon dioxide in the red blood cells and is replaced by oxygen to be carried to the body tissues and used in tissue respiration.
What is the structure of the atrium?
the left atrium is above the left ventricle. the blood which has been oxygenated from the lungs due to the gas exchange between the alveoli and capillaries comes here from the pulmonary artery this blood then gets sent to the left ventricle through the bicuspid valve this stops the backflow of blood but it allows the blood to go to the left ventricle but does not allow the blood to go back

Why is there large surface area for the alveoli?
The function of alveuli is to provide a surface for gas exchange. Therefore, a large surface area means that there is a lot of area for the gas exchange to take place. Therefore it is to improve efficiency of gas exchange in the lungs (exchanging carbon dioxide for oxygen). The large surface area is due to the shape of the alveoli- the have many small "pockets".
How does the blood get oxygen?
by suking it
What is the main unit of oxygen exchange in the human lung?
The main unit of oxygen exchange in the human lung is the alveolus. Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where oxygen from the air is taken up by red blood cells and carbon dioxide is released for exhalation. This process is known as gas exchange and is essential for breathing and maintaining healthy oxygen levels in the body.
What are capillaries for?
The capillaries are where the gas and nutrient exchanges occur. Because in a closed circulation system the blood can't go outside the vessels, it must go to the capillary beds where it is about 1 cell thick to have diffusion. Alveoli in lungs are covered by capillaries to allow gas exchange to happen. The capillaries are most abundant of all the blood vessels, because most part of your body requires oxygen, and capillaries are where it can be given to cells.
The respiratory system is responsible for the exchange of what?
In the respiratory system, we see the exchange of gases. In this gas exchange, carbon dioxide (CO2) leaves the blood and goes into air in the lungs, and oxygen (O2) leaves the air in the lungs and goes into the blood. It is this gas exchange, which occurs in the alveoli, that permits oxygenation of the blood and keeps us alive.
What is the of Alveolus?
The alveolus is a air sac that holds the oxygen. It squashes the oxygen molecules so they diffuse from the alveolus into the capillary. From there, they attach themselves to deoxygenated Red Blood Cells. The oxygen in the blood plasma are also squashed and are diffused. They go from the capillary to the alveoli to get breathed out. The alveoli transfers the oxygen to the lung capillaries and oxygenates the blood, then it is breathed out as Carbon Dioxide.
How does an oxygen molecule travel from the nose to a leg muscle?
After entering the nose, oxygen molecules are inhaled into the lungs where they diffuse across the alveoli walls and enter the bloodstream. The oxygen-rich blood is then pumped by the heart to the leg muscles through the arteries. In the capillaries near the leg muscles, oxygen is released from the red blood cells and diffuses into the muscle cells for cellular respiration.
