The aveoli gives the lungs  large surface so that oxygen can diffuse quickly from air inside the lungs into blood contained capillaries. 

Term

The word equation for respiration

Definition

 

Gluecose+oxygen = Carbon -dioxide+water(+energy)

Term
The process
Definition

 

Glucose is supplied by the digestion of carbohydrates carried around the body dissolved in the plasma of blood vesseks and is pumbed by the heart.

Term
Tissue Fluid
Definition

Comes out of the capillaries and bathes the tissues in the body. Contains oxygen and glucose. The cells take oxygen and glucose they need from it and put carbon dioxide that is produced back in the tissue fluid. It soaks back into other capillaries  and the carbon dioxide dissolves into the blood plasma

Term
Exhale and inhale
Definition

Breathe out: Exhale

Breathe in: Inhale

Carbon dioxide is exterted by the lungs. It can be tested using lime water .

Term
