how is oxygen and carbon dioxide transported in human beings
Answers
Explanation:
Oxygen is transported from lungs to body cells in the form of oxyhemoglobin . the main 2 gases exchanged are 02 & C02 . 02 is absorbed by blood capillaries from lungs alveoli by diffusion while C02 is absorbed by blood alveoli from blood capillaries by diffusion.
Answer:
here is your answer
Explanation:
the transportation of oxygen from the lungs to other body parts takes place through our blood vessels. oxygen has low water solubility and therefore cannot be transported directly in plasma. the red blood cells contain a pigment called haemoglobin with which the oxygen molecules stick once the are absorbed through our lungs.
these red blood cells carry the oxygen to the oxygen deficient parts and then release it to be used for respiration.
carbon dioxide is the by product of respiration and has to be eliminated from our bodies. due tonits high solubility in water it is directly transported from various body parts to the lungs through the plasma of our blood only is released in the environment by exhaling.
