In the mass on a spring system: The period of oscillation DOES depend on the mass according to the equation: T = 2*pi*sqrt(m/k) T = period pi = 3.14 m = mass k = spring constant (i.e. how stiff the spring is) It DOES NOT depend on the length of the spring (which is why you don't see it in the above equation).
Pulmonary gas exchange takes place in the lungs between the alveoli and the blood. It is also referred to as âexternal respirationâ as it involves the respiratory processes that have contact with the external environment.
Gas exchange. We need to get oxygen from the air into the blood, and we need to remove waste carbon dioxide from the blood into the air. Moving gases like this is called gas exchange. The alveoli are adapted to make gas exchange in lungs happen easily and efficiently.Here are some features of the alveoli that allow this:they give the lungs a really big surface area. they have moist, thin walls (just one cell thick). they have a lot of tiny blood vessels called capillaries.he alveoli are adapted to make gas exchange in lungs happen easily and efficiently.
