Gas exchange is a function of respiration not digestion.
Alveoli is where gas exchange occurs.
The exchange surfaces are moist.
gaseous exchange
gas exchange occurs between the thin walls of the alveoli and the thin walls of the capillaries
worms carry out gas exchange by absorbing air through their skin
The actual sites of gas exchange within the lungs are the alvioli.
the organ that is involved in gas exchange is the lung. the specific lung structure that is the site for gas exchange is the alveolus which is part of the alveoli, which is found in the lung.
Alveoli- these are the small sac-like structures where gas exchange occurs with the blood. Its creates an ideal site for gas exchange between the air in the lungs and the blood in the capillaries.
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.
gaseous exchange takes place when the volume of the chest cavity is increased or decreased.
Gas exchange happens in the capillaries. Oxygen is replaced with Carbon Dioxide which is transported from the heart.
