what gas is excreted through the alveoli
Water vapor is also excreted through the lungs, due to humidification of inspired air by the lung tissues. Molecules with a high affinity for hemoglobin, such as carbon monoxide, can be added to the blood in high concentrations. Red blood cells transit the alveolar capillaries in about 3/4 of a second.xygen moves from the alveoli (high oxygen concentration) to the blood (lower oxygen concentration). Conversely, carbon dioxide has a higher concentration in the blood than in the air. The oxygen first dissolves in the fluid in the interstitial tissues and diffuses into the blood.
