How is oxygen and carbon dioxide transported in human beings?
Answers
Answer:
Here,
Explanation:
The two main gases exchanged are oxygen and carbon-dioxide. Oxygen is absorbed by the blood capillaries from the lungs alveoli by diffusion while carbon-dioxide is absorbed by the lungs alveoli from blood capillaries by diffusion. ... Oxygen is transported from lungs to the body cells in the form of oxy-hemoglobin.
♥ Transport of oxygen - Haemoglobin present in the blood takes up the oxygen from the air in the lungs . It carries the oxygen to tissues which are deficient in oxygen before releasing it .
♥ Transport of carbon dioxide - Carbon
dioxide is more soluble in water .
Therefore , it is mostly transported from
body tissues in the dissolved form in our
blood plasma to lungs . It diffuses from
blood to air in the lungs .
