Cells throughout the body use oxygen for metabolism and cellular respiration, taking in molecular oxygen and producing carbon dioxide. Both gases are sent back and forth, between the cells throughout the body and the lungs (where carbon dioxide is dropped off and oxygen is picked up)....
The respiratory system goes from the oral cavity to the lungs. The air we breathe into our lungs is exchanged for waste gases in the body to keep our bodies oxygenated. Answer and Explanation: Alveoli are the terminal portion of the lungs. They are small, balloon-shaped structures throug...
Breathing is a complex physiological process that is performed by respiratory system structures. There are a number of facets involved in breathing. Air must be able to flow into and out of the lungs. Gases must be able to be exchanged between the air and blood, as well as between the blo...
As the blood goes through the lungs, some of the alcohol moves across the membranes of the lung's air sacs (alveoli) into the air, because alcohol will evaporate from a solution — that is, it is volatile. The concentration of the alcohol in the alveolar air is related to the ...
Summary. Ventilation and oxygenation aredistinct but interdependent physiological processes. While ventilation can be thought of as the delivery system that presents oxygen-rich air to the alveoli, oxygenation is the process of delivering O2from the alveoli to the tissues in order to maintain cellular...
From there, similar to branches on a tree, the pipe-like bronchi split again into smaller bronchi and then even smaller bronchioles. This ever-decreasing pipework eventually terminates in the alveoli, which are tiny air sacs. Here, gas exchange occurs. ...

Explain what factors can influence how well oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged at the respiratory membrane. How does oxygen keep cells and tissues alive? Explain what happens to the CO_2 that moves out of the tissues into the blood in internal resp...
Answer to: Water and oxygen can move across the membrane of the alveoli in the lungs. How would their paths through the alveoli cell membrane...
