In the alveoli
The process of digestion is not involved in removing carbon dioxide from the body. Carbon dioxide is primarily removed through the respiratory system, where it is expelled from the lungs during exhalation. Additionally, the circulatory system plays a role in transporting carbon dioxide from the tissues to the lungs. In contrast, digestion focuses on breaking down food and absorbing nutrients, not gas exchange.
The respiratory system and the circulatory system are involved in gas exchange. The respiratory system allows for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the lungs, while the circulatory system transports these gases between the lungs and the rest of the body's tissues.
Circulatory and Respiratory systems, which is to say, the blood transport system and the breathing system.Specifically, the heme cells in the blood pick up oxygen at the lungs and take it to all the individual cells in the body, while at the same time picking up the by-product of cells burning fuel (glucose or blood-sugar) with the oxygen to make carbon-dioxide. When the heme cells returns to the lungs they exchange the CO2 for fresh O2, and the cycle repeats.
The human body's respiratory and circulatory systems work in tandem to facilitate gas exchange. When we inhale, oxygen-rich air enters the lungs and diffuses across the alveolar membranes into the bloodstream. Simultaneously, carbon dioxide from the blood is expelled into the alveoli and exhaled. The circulatory system then transports oxygen to cells throughout the body and returns carbon dioxide to the lungs for removal, ensuring efficient gas exchange and maintaining homeostasis.
Respiration.
The respiratory system and the circulatory system work together to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in your body. The respiratory system brings oxygen into the body through inhalation and removes carbon dioxide through exhalation, while the circulatory system transports oxygen from the lungs to the cells and tissues of the body and carries carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be exhaled.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged by way of the circulatory system. Cells use oxygen for energy and produce carbon dioxide as a waste. Capillaries are where this exchange occurs. Veins carry this product back to the heart. This blood goes to the lungs were you blow off the carbon dioxide and take in oxygen. So the circulatory system and lungs work together to exchange gases.
oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange between the circulatory system and tissues occurs at the capillaries, which are the smallest blood vessels where nutrient and gas exchange takes place through diffusion. Oxygen from the blood is released into the tissues, and carbon dioxide from the tissues is taken up by the blood to be transported back to the lungs for elimination.
The circulatory system takes up oxygen, and releases carbon dioxide.
In the mammalian fetus, the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen occurs in the placenta. The placenta is a temporary organ that develops during pregnancy to allow for the transfer of gases, nutrients, and wastes between the maternal and fetal bloodstreams. Oxygen from the mother's blood diffuses into the fetal blood, while carbon dioxide from the fetus diffuses into the mother's blood for elimination.
oxygen
The pulmonary circulatory system is involved in the process of moving carbon dioxide from the blood.
Within the circulatory system gas exchange happens at two places. First within the lungs where it picks up oxygen and gives up its carbon dioxide. Secondly, within the capillary beds of the tissues to deliver the oxygen (and nutrients) and pick up the carbon dioxide to bring back to the lungs.
In the alveoli
The respiratory system takes in oxygen and releases carbon dioxide. It works closely with the circulatory system.
The respiratory system, which includes (basically) the naso/oropharynx, the epiglottis, larynx (commonly: Adam's apple - consisting of the Thyroid cartilage, cricothyroid membrane, and the cricoid cartilage), the trachea, carina, left and right bronchi, smaller bronchioles, terminal bronchiole, and then the alveoli, where the actual exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide essentially takes place.
