Mostly nitrogen and oxygen. It is the oxygen that is used for respiration.
Blood cells pick up oxygen from the lungs, and deposit carbon dioxide.
Oxygen is taken to the lungs from the blood. Yes, oxygen is a gas.
No, sassy one. To the lungs. Not from. CO2 (carbon dioxide).

How are lungs adapted to get gases into and out of the blood?
k
What organs were the blood exchanges gases with the air?
The lungs.
Which organ is responsible for exchanging gases between the cell and lungs?
The lungs are responsible for exchanging gases between the inhaled air and the blood in the body. Oxygen is taken in by the lungs and carbon dioxide is released from the blood to be exhaled.
What is the fluid that is carrying gases to the body?
The fluid that carries gases to the body is blood. Oxygen is transported from the lungs to tissues by red blood cells, while carbon dioxide is transported back to the lungs to be exhaled.
What process separates the gases you breathe?
The process of respiration separates gases in the lungs. Oxygen from the air is taken up by the blood in the lungs and carbon dioxide from the blood is released into the air you breathe out. This exchange occurs in the alveoli, small air sacs in the lungs.
Why lungs need a good blood supply?
Lungs are an important part of the respiratory system in our body and it is because of lungs that we can burn the energy in our bodies. The oxygen and carbon dioxide in lungs is carried in or out of them with the help of blood vessels. This means that the blood vessels carry the oxygen to the body from the lungs and the carbon dioxide do the opposite thing. The red blood cells present in blood carry these respiratory gases and if there is inadequate blood supply to the lungs then the gases will not be absorbed properly. If the absorption of gases is faulty then the body will be deprived of the ability to burn energy, ultimately life.
What gas will pass from the blood into the lungs?
carbon dioxide
Which blood vessel does blood oxygen pass through?
Oxygen and other gases pass through the capillaries.
Small sacs in the lungs that exchange gases with blood are what?
Frizzophigus
How your lungs refine oxygen from other gases?
Your lungs refine oxygen from the other gases in air because the gases diffuse through the cell walls in the alveoli in your lungs through osmosis (higher concentration of gases in the air than in the blood, so gases move from the higher concentration to the lower concentration) where they contact the red blood cells. The hemoglobin in the red blood cells binds to the oxygen and leaves all the other gases alone. It moves on from the lungs and delivers the oxygen to the rest of the body. It's the hemoglobin that does the work.
How can the respiratory system put oxygen into the blood and carbon dioxide out of the blood?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are both gases, which makes them easier to pass through the cell. In addition, the site of trading the respiratory gases occur at alveoli, which has capillaries attached to it. The membranes in these regions are each one cell thick, which enables the respiratory gases to pass through easier. When the blood reaches the lungs, simple diffusions then take the carbon dioxide out of the cell and oxygenates the blood.
Why is alveoli a component of the air blood barrier?
Alveoli are the tiny air sac structures in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. Their thin walls allow oxygen to pass into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to be removed. This makes alveoli a critical component of the air-blood barrier, facilitating efficient exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood.
