Breathing in- Oxygen Deoxygenated blood

from the body

Oxygen
into alveoli

Oxygenated blood
to the body

1. Complete the sentence below with the following words.

Capillary Lower Higher Diffuse

into the blood in the………….., moving from ……………………..to …………………….concentration.

2.Draw an arrow to show the net movement of oxygen when air is being breathed in. Label this arrow
DIFFUSION OF OXYGEN.
3. Label with the letter X the red blood cell with the lowest oxygen concentration

B. How is the concentration of Carbon dioxide reduced?

Deoxygenated blood
Breathing Out- Carbon from the body
dioxide

Oxygenated blood
to the body

1. Complete the sentence below with the following words.

Capillary Lower Higher Diffusion Surface area
Carbon dioxide molecules diffuse across the lining of the ……………….
out of the blood into the alveolus, moving from ……………………..to …………………………concentration.
The large number of alveoli increases the ……….. …….. of the lungs and therefore increases the rate of
