What is the principal site of gas exchange in the lung?
They are the alveoli.
What is the actual site of gas exchange between lungs and the blood?
The alveoli
What is the primary gas exchange site in the respiratory system?
alveoli
What happens in the alveoli in the process of gas exchange.?
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.
What are small sac-like structures that is the site of gas exchange in the lungs?
The small sac-like structures that are the site of gas exchange in the lungs are called alveoli. They are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air we breathe and our bloodstream, allowing for efficient respiration.
What is The site of gas exchange in the tissues?
The site of gas exchange in the tissues is the capillaries. Here, oxygen from the red blood cells is released into the tissues, while carbon dioxide from the tissues enters the blood to be carried away. This exchange occurs due to differences in partial pressures of gases between the blood and the tissues.
Which lung pumps blood?
Lungs do not pump blood. They are the site of gas exchange between capillaries and alveoli.
Are the capilliaries in the lungs?
There are many capillaries in the lungs. These small blood vessels are the site of gas exchange in the alveoli.
Capillaries connect what?
Capillaries connect small arteries to small veins. Capillaries are the site of gas exchange.
Where is the site where Gases are exchanged?
Alveoli are site of gas exchange. Actual diffusion of gases occurs at interstitial space between capillaries and alveolar cells.
What are the parts of the elodea leaf and what are the functions of the parts?
The main parts of an Elodea leaf are the cuticle (protective outer layer), epidermis (outer layer of cells), palisade layer (primary site of photosynthesis), spongy mesophyll layer (site of gas exchange), and stomata (pores for gas exchange). The cuticle protects the leaf, the epidermis provides structure, the palisade layer helps in photosynthesis, the spongy mesophyll layer aids in gas exchange, and stomata regulate gas exchange.
What are the tiny tubes that carry blood?
Capillaries are the tiniest blood vessels. They are the site of gas exchange and connect veins and arteries.
