Diffusion


Are capillaries one cell thick?

They are one cell thick to allow diffusion of gases to take place


Why diffusion of gases occurs in the alveolar region only?

Diffusion of gases occurs in the alveolar region only because this is where the thin walls of the alveoli allow for efficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air in the lungs and the blood in the capillaries. The high surface area and close proximity of the alveoli to the capillaries facilitate rapid diffusion of gases.


How does gases enter and leave capillaries?

Simple diffusion.


How can capillaries allow gas exchange?

Capillaries have thin walls that allow for diffusion of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood in the capillary and surrounding tissues. The close proximity of capillaries to cells ensures efficient exchange of gases due to a short diffusion distance. Additionally, the high surface area of capillaries facilitates a large area for gas exchange to occur.


Why do gases show the property of diffusion?

Diffusion occur in all phases.


What is the process of diffusion in gases?

carbonation


Do gases show the property of diffusion?

Yes, gases show the property of diffusion. Diffusion is the movement of gas molecules from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration, and this process occurs naturally in gases due to their high kinetic energy and constant motion.


When two gases are mixed what is it called?

When two gases are mixed together, it is referred to as a gas mixture. This is because the gases are physically combined, retaining their individual properties without a chemical reaction taking place.


Where in the respiratory system does gas exhcange occur?

Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli in the respiratory system. The thin-walled structures allow diffusion of gases into and out of the capillaries.
