The lungs are the source of oxygen for the blood, and the blood vessels pass through it in order to exchange the Carbon dioxide that has been produced through respiration, with fresh oxygen to transport to the muscles so respiration may continue.

There are a large number because a larger surface area means more diffusion can occur, and we want the gas exchange to occur as quickly as possible, so when you're working hard and the muscles need more oxygen, this can be provided.

Which of the following will NOT facilitate the transfer of oxygen to tissues?
bija089 [108]

Answer:

decreased body temperature

Explanation:

Muscles also need oxygen to function properly. Given that blood flow must be maintained at high levels to supply oxygenation and muscle substrates, mechanisms have been found to facilitate this process. Among the processes that facilitate the transfer of oxygen to tissues, we can mention lowering blood pH, increasing carbon dioxide and increasing exercise.

Lower body temperature, in turn, makes it difficult to transfer oxygen to tissues, causing fatigue, pain and other problems.
