ExchangesofGasesthroughAlveoli

Conclusion:
Oxygen diffuses into the blood in the alveoli of the lungs.
HaemoglobinintheRBCsabsorbsoxygen.Haemoglobinhasgreat
affinity to oxygen. Haemoglobin absorbs oxygen and becomes
oxyhaemoglobin.Sincetheconcentrationofoxygenishigherinthe
lungs, haemoglobin easily combines with oxygen. In tissues
concentration of oxygen is less. Therefore oxyhaemoglobin
dissociates very quickly and provides oxygen to tissues.
Haemoglobinreturnstolungswhereitagaincombineswithoxygen.
The gaseous exchange in lungs is carried out as a result of the
differenceinconcentrationofxygenandCo 2 presentintheblood
