Air contains dust particles, which would block the air passage, and (1) _______________ that
may cause infection.
Consequently, the air reaching the lungs is clean, moist and warm.

2 Oxygen then (1) _______________ in the film of moisture lining the alveoli.
3 Oxygen concentration is (2) _______________ in the alveoli than in the blood capillaries.
Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the (3) _______________ _________________.
The transport of carbon dioxide from the blood into the atmosphere:
1 Carbon dioxide concentration is (4) _______________ in the blood capillaries than in the
alveoli. Carbon dioxide then diffuses across the capillary walls and the alveolar
epithelium into the (5) _______________.
2 Carbon dioxide is exhaled out of the lungs.
Note:
Not all of the oxygen in the alveoli diffuses into the blood capillaries.
