NEET PG DENTAL EXAM

Detailed explanation-1: -The arteries branch off into smaller and smaller tubes. These bring oxygen and other nutrients to the cells of the body’s tissues and organs. The smallest tubes are called capillaries. As blood moves through the capillaries, the oxygen and other nutrients move out into the cells.

Detailed explanation-2: -Oxygen diffuses through the capillary wall, into the tissue fluid and the cells. Carbon dioxide diffuses from the cells into the tissue fluid, then across the capillary walls into the blood plasma . Glucose diffuses from the blood plasma, across the capillary walls to the tissue fluid, and then to the cells.

Detailed explanation-3: -Glucose is formed by the breakdown of carbohydrates in the small intestine. Glucose is then absorbed into the blood from the small intestine via the villi by active transport. Glucose and oxygen travel in the bloodstream and are taken up into cells. Respiration takes place in the mitochondria, producing energy.
