WORKSHEET 7.2 Gaseous Exchange across the Respiratory Surfaces and
Transport of Gases in Humans
1.

a.

Complete the figure below

______________ blood back to the heart

___________________blood
from the heart

oxygen

[ 2 marks ]

carbon dioxide
b. Match the features of alveoli to their functions
A large number of alveoli in
the lungs
Walls are made of a single
layer of cells

Gases can dissolve in the

moisture and diffuse easily
across walls
Can transport oxygen to and
carbon dioxide away from the
cells

Walls secrete a thin lining of

moisture

Gases can diffuse easily across

thin walls

Surrounded by a network of
blood capillaries

Increase surface area for

exchange of gases

In the alveolus, high partial pressure of oxygen

Oxygen diffuses into the blood capillaries
Oxygen combines with the haemoglobin to form oxyhaemoglobin

Oxyhaemoglobin is transported to the cells

In the cells low partial pressure of oxygen

oxyhaemoglobin breaks down and releases oxygen and haemoglobin

haemoglobin combines with carbon dioxide to form
