They have several adaptations that make the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the lungs and the blood more efficient. For example, each alveoli is thin-walled and is wrapped in capillaries. This minimises the diffusion distance for the gas molecules. marilyn manson death parade

Gas Exchange across the Alveoli Biology for Majors II

Nettet1)By simple diffusion passing through the alveolar epithelium 2)Capillary epithelium 3)Down a pressure gradient 4)Down a diffusion gradient Tubifex worms are small, thin animals that live in water. They have no specialised gas exchange or circulatory system. NettetThe information below was adapted from OpenStax Biology 39.2. The structure of any respiratory surface (lungs, gills, tracheae), ... Air flows into the atrium of the alveolar sac, then circulates into alveoli where gas exchange occurs with the capillaries. Mucous glands secrete mucous into the airways, keeping them moist and flexible. (credit: ... NettetThe exchange of these gases occurs in the alveoli. The alveoli are small sacs, surrounded by capillaries, which are adapted for efficient gaseous exchange. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries, and Carbon Dioxide diffuses from the capillaries to the alveoli. … marilyn manson discography torrent
