Explain the transport of `O_(2) " and " CO_(2)` between alveoli and tissue with diagram.

Text Solution

AI Generated Solution

### Step-by-Step Solution: 1. **Understanding the Alveoli**: - The alveoli are tiny air sacs located in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. They are surrounded by capillaries, which are small blood vessels. 2. **Partial Pressure Concept**: - Gas exchange is driven by differences in partial pressures of oxygen (O₂) and carbon dioxide (CO₂). The gas will naturally move from an area of higher partial pressure to an area of lower partial pressure. ...
