Gaseous exchange is the diffusion of the oxygen and carbon dioxide that takes place in the alveoli part of the lungs. When oxygen goes into the alveoli, which then touches the capillaries carrying blood, the oxygen is diffused into the blood cells and the carbon dioxide is diffused into te alveoli as an apposite reaction. The carbon dioxide is then breathed out of the body back into the air.

The relationship between the animal's type of gas exchange system and it's environment?
An animal's type of gas exchange system is influenced by its environment. Animals in aquatic environments may have gills for efficient gas exchange with water, while terrestrial animals often have lungs to extract oxygen from air. Some animals like insects have a tracheal system for gas exchange that connects to almost every cell in their body. The type of gas exchange system an animal has is adapted to meet the specific oxygen requirements and environmental conditions of its habitat.
What groups of animals have the most efficient gas exchange?
I would argue that the Albatross is one of the most efficient animals. It does not have to flap it's wings when it soars across the oceans since it's wing bones lock into place. It is also able to sleep while flying. It has a glide efficiency of 20 feet forward for every 1 foot down.
What type of land animals are able to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide through their skin?
Amphibians, such as frogs and salamanders, are able to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide through their skin. Their skin is thin, moist, and highly vascularized, allowing for this gas exchange to occur.
What is the function of the integumentary system of an earthworm?
The integumentary system of an earthworm regulates gas exchange, helps in the excretion of waste, and protects the internal organs from physical damage and pathogens.
Can manometers be used to record any metabolic gas exchange?
Manometers are typically used to measure pressure, so they are not commonly used to directly measure metabolic gas exchange. For recording metabolic gas exchange, methods such as gas analyzers or respiratory gas exchange systems are more commonly used because they can measure specific gas concentrations in exhaled breath.

Do butterflies gas exchange?
Butterflies do indeed take part in the exchange of gasses. They need oxygen to breathe just like most living animals.
Is gas exchange a function of the digestive system?
Gas exchange is a function of respiration not digestion.
What is the elastic unit of the respiratory system where gas exchange occurs?
Alveoli is where gas exchange occurs.
Why do human being need a gas exchange system?
Because our bodies need to be able to get rid of Carbon Dioxide, and intake fresh Oxygen.
Explain gas exchange between plants and animals?
Plants let out gases. This gas is called oxgen which animals and humans need to breathe so we can live. Animals let out a gas called carbon dioxide and the plants need to take in the carbon dioxide to live.
What is it called when animals breathe through their skin?
Cutaneous gas exchange.
What is a primary function of a respiratory system?
Gas exchange
What system provides gas exchange between blood and air?
The respiratory system provides gas exchange between blood and air. This occurs in the lungs, where oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide is removed from the blood and exhaled.
Where does gas exhange in the vascular system?
The vascular system, or respiratory system, deals with the exchange of oxygen to carbon dioxide. This exchange occurs in the alveoli sacs
What is the body system that has a major role in gas exchange?
respiratory
What body system works with the respiratory system during gas exchange in the cells?
Cardiovascular
