CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM Gas Exchange Group 6

GAS EXCHANGE Gas exchange occurs in the lungs in the alveoli The alveoli are tiny sacs in the lungs that are extremely thin, allowing for rapid gas exchange Oxygen and Carbon dioxide diffuse from the lungs into red blood cells hill.com/sites/ /student_view0/chapter 25/animation__gas_exchange_during_respiration. html

THE DIRECTION OF GAS MOVEMENT IS DETERMINED BY… A. Temperature B. Size of gas molecule C. Solubility of gas in blood D. Partial pressure differences E. pH

WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING STATEMENTS ABOUT PARTIAL PRESSURES OF GASES IS TRUE? A. P O2 in lung is greater than P O2 in blood ; P CO2 in lung is greater than P CO2 in blood B. P O2 in lung is greater than P O2 in blood ; P CO2 in lung is less than P CO2 in blood C. P O2 in lung is greater than P O2 in blood ; P CO2 in lung = P CO2 in blood D. P O2 in lung is less than P O2 in blood ; P CO2 in lung is less than P CO2 in blood E. P O2 in lung is less than P O2 in blood ; P CO2 in lung is greater than P CO2 in blood
