What else can I help you with?
Why do the lungs have huge numbers of capillaries?
because they oxidize the blood for respiration.
What is the substance that the capillaries absorb from the lungs?
The capillaries absorb oxygen at the lungs. This occurs near the alveoli.
O2 enters the capillaries and ----- from the capillaries passes in to the lungs?
Carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product of respiration, and is taken in the bloodstream to the capillaries outside the lungs, where the CO2 diffuses into the alveoli of the lungs.
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is a?
greater concentration of oxygen in the air sacs of the lungs than in the capillaries.
Why is there a large amount of blood capillaries in lungs digestive system and muscles?
There are many capillaries in your lungs, digestive system and muscles because each of these locations require blood to be transfered to individual cells snd capillaries are the smallest vessels that can do this.In your lungs capillaries connect to the alveoli and enable gas exchange within the body.In your digestive system capillaries enables food to be passed through the walls of the intestines.In your muscles capillaries deliver a fresh supply of oxygen to each cell and remove any bi-products enabling you to move sufficiently.
How are the lungs and the capillaries connected?
The lungs contain air sacs called alveoli which are surrounded by blood capillaries to allow gaseous exchange.
Why can the lungs absorb a large amount of oxygen?
1) It's not the lungs. It's the haemoglobin in blood cells that allow blood cells to carry oxygen to where it is needed.2) Lungs can absorb a large amount of oxygen because of alveoli. There are small tubes in lungs which have alveoli at there ends. The alveoli are surrounded by a network of capillaries. At these capillaries is where the blood picks up its cargo of oxygen from the air.Oh and it is hemoglobin not haemoglobin okay Soggy2002!I happen to be from England, the birthplace of the English language, where we spell it 'haemoglobin'. Okay, MsMM1987?Air moves from the trachea to the bronchi the passage that direct air into the lungs
Capillaries are to body tissues as are to lungs?
oxygen
Why is smoking bad for circulatory system?
smoking actually weakens the nerves in the lungs and it deposits a huge amount of wastes in the lungs which causes cancer
Oxygen diffuses into the capillaries of the lungs because there is?
It diffuses because the concentration of oxygen in the capillaries is lower than the concentration of oxygen in the air (law of diffusion).
What process is used to move oxygen into the capillaries of the lungs?
The process used to move oxygen into the capillaries of the lungs is called diffusion. Oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs moves across the thin walls of the alveoli and the capillaries by diffusion, from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, facilitated by the pressure difference between the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries.
How does marijuana get inside you?
It enters through the capillaries of the lungs.
