Answer:
The <u>PCO₂</u> -carbon dioxide partial pressure- in the alveoli is 40 mm Hg and that of the blood entering the pulmonary capillaries is <u>45 mmHg</u>. This causes <u>carbon dioxide</u> to diffuse down its partial pressure gradient from the blood into the alveoli.
Explanation:
Gas exchange is a physiological process that involves the entry of oxygen into the body and tissues and the exit of carbon dioxide, a product of metabolic reactions.
At the pulmonary level, gas exchange occurs between the alveoli and the alveolar capillary, and the diffusion of gases across the alveolar-capillary barrier is dependent on a pressure gradient due to the partial pressure of gases.
In the case of CO₂ the diffusion goes from where the partial pressure is higher to where it is lower, i.e. <u>from the alveolar capillary, where the PCO₂ is 45 mmHg, to the pulmonary alveolus, where the PCO₂ is 40 mmHg</u>.

Im pretty sure its A the phagocytes.
Explanation:
Answer:
1) Accommodation is the process of changing the shape of the lens to focus on near or distant objects.
- <em>To focus on a near object</em> – the lens becomes thicker, this allows the light rays to refract (bend) more strongly.
- <em>To focus on a distant object </em>– the lens is pulled thin, this allows the light rays to refract slightly.
2) - i don't know. im so sorry -
