Oxygen moves from alveoli to the blood through these tiny blood vessels called____. When you inhale, your lungs: Inflate. It is the process of intake of air into the lungs (inhalation) and expulsion of carbon dioxide (exhalation).
Understand the Problem
The question set is testing knowledge about the respiratory system, specifically the processes of gas exchange and breathing mechanics.
Answer
1. Capillaries 2. Inflate 3. Breathing
- The final answer is capillaries. 2. The final answer is inflate. 3. The final answer is breathing.
Answer for screen readers
- The final answer is capillaries. 2. The final answer is inflate. 3. The final answer is breathing.
More Information
Capillaries are tiny blood vessels that allow oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. When you inhale, your lungs fill with air and expand. Breathing is the overall process of inhalation and exhalation.
Tips
A common mistake is confusing capillaries with bronchioles; capillaries are blood vessels, while bronchioles are small air passages.
