    Gas exchange

    - Gas exchange takes


    place inside the air
    sac “alveoli”.
    - Gas exchange means:
    • Oxygen from air
    into the blood
    and carbon
    dioxide from the
    blood into the
    air.

    - Diffusion:
    • The molecules move from where there are a lot of them to where
    there are fewer of them.
    • Example: -the oxygen diffuses from the air to the blood.
    -the carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood to the air.

    - The structure of alveoli:


    - It is adapted to carry out gas exchange.
    These adaptations such as:
    1. Very thin wall. (G.R) so allow the diffusion of gases to be faster.
    2. Large surface area. (G.R) so allow the diffusion of gases to be
    faster.
    3. Surrounded by blood capillaries. (G.R) so allow the diffusion of
    gases to be faster.

    Note: Carbon dioxide can be detected by using:” lime water”, it


    turns lime water into cloudy.
