Where is gas exchanged and moved from the respiratory system into the circulatory system?
- Veins and arteries
- Lungs and bronchi
- Alveoli and capillaries
- Pharynx and larynx
Alveoli and capillaries
Gases are exchanged across the single cell layer of tissue comprising the alveolar sac into the pulmonary circulation. Capillaries from the pulmonary circulation are also a single cell layer thick. They form a bed around each alveolus; gas is exchanged between the alveoli and the capillaries via the principles of diffusion.
**How does the lymphatic system work to ensure lymph fluid travels one way to the heart?
**
* Travels through blood
* Using a pumping system
* With a system of one-way valves
* Gravity
With a system of one-way valves
The lymphatic system operates without a pump by using a series of valves to ensure the fluid travels in one direction to the heart.
