What is the hearts role in breathing?

the heart pump the clean and dirty blood ( oxygenated v.s. expended) to and from the lungs pores which collect the air youy breath.. which is why you breath hard because of such low oxygen concentrations in air


What is the lungs purpose?

The lungs take in oxygenated air and gets it to the blood. It then releases the carbon dioxide out of your body.


How do the lungs interact with the circulatory system even though they are considered part of the respiratory system?

The purpose of the lungs is to get oxygen into the body and carbon dioxide out of it. It does this by having a generous supply of blood capillaries surrounding each alveolus. When fresh air is drawn into the alveolus oxygen diffuses through into the capillaries and carbon dioxide diffuses the other way. The capillaries are constantly supplied with de-oxygenated blood from the body and the oxygenated blood travels away to the heart and round the body.


What do the lungs control?

The lungs transfer oxygen from the air that you breath into your bloodstream. The heart then pumps oxygenated blood throughout the body.


What are the functions of alveoli?

Alveoli are tiny sacs in the lungs that perform gas exchange. That is the main process of respiration where the body gets rid of carbon dioxide and picks up oxygen which is used in metabolism. They have supply of oxygenated and de-oxygenated blood surrounding their surface giving them a high blood supply. They also have thin walls and a moist surface. This is all required for them to work correctly.


Does oxygenated water have air in it?

It has dissolved oxygen.


Do the lungs breathe in oxygenated air?

Yes they do


What components does the oxygenated air have?

Air is roughly 80% Nitrogen and 20% Oxygen.


How does the respiratory system supply the body with oxygen?

Hemoglobin (in the red blood cells) (devoid of oxygen) gets into the alveoli (little capillary filled air sacks) and picks up oxygen. Then the circulatory system transports the oxygen-rich blood around.


When does blood become oxygenated?

Blood becomes oxygenated when you breath and air goes in to your longs and thn true your blood. That is all
