How do O2 CO2 and H2O move into the lungs?
The gases get into your lung when you breathe.
Is a lung transplant necessary for interstitial lung disease?
Not for mild interstitial lung disease. However, if it becomes severe, limiting the ability of the lung to do any useful work of breathing (oxygen in and CO2 out), then a lung transplant may be the only thing that will help.
Bronchi carry what into the what?
bronchi provides air to the lung. They carry both oxygen and co2.
What travels through the bronchi?
Bronchi carries air to lung. Mainly o2 and co2.
What do your bronchi and brochioles do?
bronchi and brochioles provide air to the lung. They carry both oxygen and co2.
What is the function off the lung?
Intake of oxygen from the outside world carrying it into the bloodstream, and exhalation of CO2.
High CO2 Count in a blood test?
at a co2 of 100 or so the person will be confused and sleepy. The lungs taking in the oxygen are not exhaling forcefully enough to expel the co2. This is usually due to lung problems such as COPD
What does the bronchi and brochioles do?
Actually bronchi and brochioles provide air to the lung. They carry both o2 and co2.
What organism releases carbon dioxide into the air?
Humans do, and all animals! We breathe in O2 and breathe out CO2.
How carbon dioxide in important in respiration?
CO2 is expired because when you expire your diaphram moves in and up decreasing lung volume, thus increasing the concentration of CO2 in the lungs. Then diffusion naturally occurs and the CO2 is expired and O2 is then inspired.
Does oxygen and other gases enters the nose and travel down to the windpipe but only the oxygen enters the lungs?
They all enter the lung ... but the only one that quickly enters the blood is oxygen. Because oxygen is the one gas that has a higher partial pressure in "lung air" than its partial pressure in the "lung blood". Note that the blood's CO2 pressure is higher than the air in the lungs, so CO2 comes out of the blood into the lung's air.
What other gas is lost from the body other than co2?
nitrogen
