• 0.04%

• 4%

• 16%

• 21%

What helps oxygen to be absorbed rapidly into the blood in the lungs?

• Air breathed in has less oxygen than air breathed out.

• Alveoli have thick walls and a large surface area.

• Alveoli have thin walls and a large surface area.

• The concentration of oxygen in the blood is higher than in the alveoli.

The diagram shows some structures in the human neck and thorax. The lining of tube Q has cilia. What is an important function of the cilia?

• to help in the exchange of gases

• to increase the internal surface area of tube Q

• to moisten the air entering and leaving the lungs

• to move mucus towards the throat

What is the path of carbon dioxide as it leaves the lungs?

• alveolus → bronchiole → bronchus → trachea

• alveolus → bronchus → bronchiole → trachea

• trachea → bronchiole → bronchus → alveolus

• trachea → bronchus → bronchiole → alveolus
