Absorption from the lungs is generally greater than from the mouth because the lungs have a large surface area with a rich blood supply, allowing for efficient absorption of substances directly into the bloodstream. In contrast, absorption from the mouth is limited by the mucous membranes and the stomach's acidic environment, which can break down and degrade substances before they can be absorbed.

What is the difference between buccal and sublingual absorption?
Buccal absorption occurs when medication is absorbed through the tissues of the cheek, while sublingual absorption occurs when medication is absorbed under the tongue. Sublingual absorption typically results in faster drug delivery into the bloodstream compared to buccal absorption.
Which is the pathway of oxygen to the lungs?
Oxygen enters the body through the mouth or nose, passes through the trachea (windpipe), then enters the bronchial tubes in the lungs. Within the lungs, the oxygen is absorbed by tiny air sacs called alveoli and then enters the bloodstream to be transported to cells throughout the body.
Where does oxygen go after entering nose of mouth?
After entering the nose or mouth, oxygen travels down the windpipe (trachea) and then into the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide in the alveoli, small air sacs where oxygen is taken up by red blood cells and transported to the rest of the body.
What does air or co2 have to pass through to get breathed out?
Air or CO2 must pass through the respiratory system, specifically the lungs. During exhalation, these gases move out of the lungs and are expelled from the body through the nose or mouth.
Does the mouth absorb?
No, the mouth does not absorb nutrients. Nutrient absorption primarily occurs in the small intestine, where the nutrients from food are broken down and absorbed into the bloodstream for use by the body. The mouth's main function is to begin the process of digestion by breaking down food into smaller pieces through chewing and mixing with saliva.
Process of taking nutrients into the body and making them part of the body?
you are hungry.
Where does air travel after it is taken into the mouth?
Into the lungs.
Name the organs of the respiratory system in order from the mouth to the lungs?
The organs of the respiratory system in order from the mouth to the lungs are the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and finally the lungs.
What is the airway from the mouth to the lungs?
The Windpipe, also known as the trachea, is the airway from the mouth to the lungs.
Is there any absorption in the mouth?
The mouth breaks down and absorbs sugars in the food we eat.
Does the mouth prepare air for the lungs?
Yes, both the mouth and nose help to moisten and warm air before it enters your lungs.
Can small amounts of absorption can take place in the mouth?
yes
Can small amounts of absorption take place in the mouth?
yes
Why do you do mouth to mouth?
you have to dod mouth to mouth so that if a person is not breathing then you pass air through your mouth to the other person's lungs to keep them ALIVE
How does a tiger breath?

Why do frogs only get oxygen through their skin?
The frog gets oxygen through its lungs just as we do. It can also absorb it through the skin and the mouth lining. Overall the surface area of the skin wouldn't be enough to absorb enough oxygen to supply all the cells of the body. However, absorption through the skin is very useful when the frog is under water.
What organs does angina affect?
