What is the function of the aveoli duct?
To get inhaled air to the alveoi for gas exchange
How many alveoi does the lungs contain in the respiratory system?
millons of alveoli are in the lungs
What happens in the alveoi?
keyboards fight the mouse who ever wins will take the money of 1000 pound
How can you use alveoi in a sentence?
The alveoli in Mr. Johnson's lungs were severely damaged from his years of smoking.
What low-tech breathing devices often used to promote expansion of the alveoli?
An incentive spirometer is often used to promote expansion of the alveoi.
What organs are involved in the respiratory system?
respiratory system consists organs like: nose mouth epiglottis throat trachea bronchi lungs alveoi diaphragram
Where in the lungs does gas exchange take place?
In the alveoli (also called air sac) is the capillary-rich sac in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place by diffusion. The oxygen poor blood goes from the right ventricle and into the lungs where the co2 is traded for Oxygen in the alveoli and back through the heart and out to the body.
How are the respiratory and digestive systems linked?
well..i know that the cirulatory system and the respiratory system are dependent on each other because as you breath in, the air goes into your lungs where it passes through the complex alveoli system which connects to the heart. the heart then pumps the oxygen rich blood to all parts of the body. once that's done, the oxygen poor blood comes back to the heart, passes back through the alveoi exchange and then you breath out co2. and i think that the digestive system is related to the circulatory system also. this is because when the "food" gets down to the small intestine, the nutrients are sucked out of it and those nutrients are absorbed into the blood stream in which the heart pumps these nutrients to all parts of the body and the cells take nourishment off of it. but i cant really see how the digestive and the respiratory systems are interlated...
How does the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen take place in the lungs?
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in between the alveoli and capillaries. Oxygen moves through the cell membrane of the capillaries of the alveoli and then into the blood. Then oxygen is picked up by hemoglobin, and carried to all the body cells. At the same time, waste(carbon dioxide) leaves the body by exhaling --- @luvzbieber
