Include why these substances need exchanging including where there are used and produced
The body requires oxygen in order to produce energy for our cells to do work. Therefore, we must
have an efficient system of taking oxygen from the air. Our bodies also produce a gas called carbon
dioxide that must be efficiently removed from the body to prevent cell damage. When we inhale, we
take oxygen from air. When we exhale, we get rid of the carbon dioxide.
, Adaption’s in our respiratory system that are adapted to fulfill their role in our body
The lungs are very well adapted for gas exchange.
• The lungs contain millions of alveoli (air sacs) which give a very large surface area for diffusion of
gases.
• Each alveolus is very close to a capillary. The oxygen from air in the alveoli diffuses the short
distance across these cells and then across the thin walls of blood capillaries, into the blood.
• Oxygen from alveolar air diffuses down its gradient into the blood and joins with the haemoglobin
in enthrocytes.
• Carbon dioxide, carried back from respiring cells in the blood, diffuses down its gradient into the
alveoli and is breathed out. If it stayed in the blood it would be toxic as it would lower the blood
PH.
