Deoxygenated blood is pumped through plomonary arties to elsatic saclike structures in the lungs called?
Deoxygenated blood is pumped through pulmonary arteries to elastic sac-like structures in the lungs called alveoli. These alveoli are where the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen takes place during the process of respiration.
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 name of the process that takes place in the alveoli?
respiration ;)
What does each lung consist?
Bronchi, Bronchioles and Alveoli. Bronchi and Bronchioles - transport systems Alveoli - Respiration occurs
Do gas pass through the walls of the alveoli by respiration?
Yes.
Which structures are at the smallest end of the tubes in the lungs?
alveoli
Where does the exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen take place?
The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen takes place in the lungs, specifically in the alveoli where oxygen is taken in by the blood and carbon dioxide is released from the blood to be exhaled out of the body through the respiratory system.
What terminate is a grape like cluster of respiratory structures?
"Alveoli"
How do the structures of the alveoli and capillaries support the function of gas exchange?
Alveoli are found within the lungs. The alveoli act as a specialised gaseous exchange surface in mammals. Another function of alveoli is the production of surfactant.
Is alveoli used in both respiraton and breathing or only in respiration?
Respiration is a technical word for breathing. it means the same thing.
What process allows gas exchange in the lungs?
Diffusion
What is gas exchange between the alveoli and blood called?
The other term is respiration.
