What else can I help you with?
What is the organ made up of masses of aveoli?
The lungs.
What is the function of the aveoli duct?
To get inhaled air to the alveoi for gas exchange
What connection between alveolus and visceral pleura?
The aveoli are microscopic pockets in the lung where gas exchange occurs. The visceral pleura is a membrane that covers the entire lung. There is no connection except that they both involve the anatomy of the lung.
Name the slippy secretion that keep the alveolar walls from sticking together?
Pulmany Surfactants. This is accomplished by lowering the surface tension in the aveoli. When the surface tension in the aveoli is decreased it allows for easier reinhilation of the aveoli because there is less work required to do reinflate them.
What is the primary function of the aveoli?
The primary function of alveoli is to facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the bloodstream during the process of respiration. They are small air sacs located at the end of bronchioles in the lungs where this gas exchange takes place.
What is exchanged between the aveoli and the capilarries?
oxygen.
What absorbes oxygen from the air?
the aveoli in the Lungs
What happens to the tissue when you put it in water?
Normal lung tissue floats because of all the aveoli (tiny air pockets).
Why do the walls of the capillaries and aveoli need to be thin?
The walls of alveoli are thin to allow the exchange of gases (Co2 and O2) between blood capillaries and the aveoli in the lungs.
Is the aveoli an organ?
no cause aveoli are little air sacks in the lungs. they are not an organ they are in an organ.
What happens to the carbon dioxide in the blood when it flows through the capillares in the aveoli?
CO2 diffuses from the blood to the alveoli and the exhalation removes the CO2 from the body.
Which two gases are exchanged in the aveoli?
At the aveoli, the blood transfers CO2 and the hemoglobin on red blood cells picks up 02.
Do veins surround aveoli?
no
What are millions in the lungs?
alveoli
Is there osmosis for aveoli of lungs?
What is filtration
What is the microscopic air sacs called?
aveoli
Does the air exchange happen in the bronchioles?
no, in the aveoli
