How does the body get rid of gaseous waste?

Gaseous waste is expelled from the body primarily through respiration. A process called gas exchange takes place in the lungs. With every breath we take, some quantity of the waste gases (like carbon dioxide, or CO2) in our blood is exchanged for oxygen (O2) in the air inspired. Note that anything else in the air that we inhale can be carried across and into the blood.

Alveoli.


How are gases exchanged in both sponges and cnidarians?

Cnidaria don't have gills or lungs, but they take in oxygen from surrounding water through diffusion.


What gases are exchanged in the circulatory system and where?

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.


What part of the body is most responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide?

The lungs exchange gases with the air. The lungs will take in fresh, oxygen filled blood and circulate it throughout the body. The lungs will then expel the air, and start the process all over again.

How does the body take out the gases which we don't need?

The lungs allow our blood to absorb oxygen and expel carbon dioxide and other gases. When we exhale, those gases are pushed out of our body.


Does the respiratory system transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from the cells?

The respiratory system is a vehicle for gases to get from the atmosphere into the body, but the respiratory system itself does not transport oxygen and carbon dioxide to and from body cells.When oxygen reaches the alveolar region of the lungs (that's to say, where the alveoli are located) oxygen is exchanged with red blood cells that take the oxygen to the rest of the body.
