Question

The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen in the alveoli of the lungs is an example of what?

Answer 1

Answer:The exchange takes place in the millions of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that envelop them. As shown below, inhaled oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries, and carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries to the air in the alveoli.

Answer 2

Gas exchange

Step-by-step explanation:

Gas exchange can be described as the movement of gases in opposing direction across an interface. In humans and other animals with lungs, gas exchange occur as a process of respiration.

Oxygen is inhaled into the lung. In the alveoli of the lung, the inhaled oxygen diffuses into the bloodstream within the blood capillaries. Carbon dioxide in the blood travelling within the blood capillaries diffuses the other way (into the alveoli)
