the pathway of oxygen from the alveoli across the respiratory membrane to the capillaries is
The pathway of O2 from alveoli to blood vessel
The oxygen molecules move from high pressure to low pressure. The partial pressure of oxygen is more in the alveoli as compared to blood vessels
The alveoli and the blood vessel and their basement membrane all these are connected together and that is the spot where the transfer occur
The oxygen molecules come near the alveoli and pass across the basement membrane and reaches the blood vessel . The oxygen move to the blood vessel because the partial pressure of O2 in alveoli is more than that in blood vessel . This oxygen molecules that reach the blood vessel then gets attach with the hemoglobin molecules and move to different parts of body .
A brief idea about this is given in the picture
the pathway of oxygen from the alveoli across the respiratory membrane to the capillaries is
The small capillaries in the lungs are in close contact with the alveoli. A red blood cell takes up oxygen during the 0.5 s that it squeezes through a capillary at the surface of an alveolus. What is the diffusion time for oxygen across the 1-μm -thick membrane separating air from blood? Assume that the diffusion coefficient for oxygen in tissue is 2×10−11m2/s. Give your answer to 1 significant figure.
1 point Oxygen moves out of the capillaries into the alveoli by the process of diffusion. * Choose True 4 points False
QUESTION 16 The respiratory membrane includes which of the following (select all that apply). Wall of the alveoli Basement membrane of the alveoli Epiglottis Wall of the lung capillaries
During respiratory exchange, carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli due to: the presence of a permease , which removes carbon dioxide from the capillaries. the contraction of the diaphragm, which creates a vacuum that pulls it out. diffusion down a concentration gradient. the air pressure of dissolved oxygen, which forces it out. two of the choices are correct
QUESTION 15 Respiratory failure resulting from acute inflammation in the lungs, injury to capillaries in the alveoli of the lungs, pulmonary edema, and lack of oxygenation of the blood is called what? DIC Septic shock ARDS Ischemia Hypovolemia
You are a molecule of oxygen floating happily through the atmosphere when all of a sudden you are inhaled by Ms Magenta. Trace your pathway through Ms Magenta respiratory tract beginning in her nasal cavity to the point at which you cross the respiratory membrane and enter the pulmonary capillaries.
III. Diffusion in Capillaries Consider a capillary in an alveolus in the lung. The density of oxygen inside the capillary is 0.30 million molecules per cubic micrometer, and in the air outside the density is 5.0 million molecules per cubic micrometer. A) Will oxygen molecules flow in both directions ncross the membrane? In which direction will there be a net flow of oxygen. Explain. B) If the flow rate of oxygen molecules across the capillary membrane is about 4.0 million...
