Lungs and breathing, sentence 2

The air goes down the windpipe into branching tubes like an upside-down tree, ending in hundreds of millions of tiny bubbles where oxygen slips into the blood and carbon dioxide slips out.

Who acts: air, oxygen, carbon dioxide · What happens: go down, end, slip, slip out · To what, where: windpipe, branching tubes, hundreds, blood

This is a sentence of the lesson «Lungs and breathing» of the biology course of Mova's primary school. The page gives its syntax tree — a dependency tree in the style of Universal Dependencies — and its pragmatics clause by clause: who acts (air, oxygen, carbon dioxide), what happens, when and where, as Mova's frames read it from the tree.

The tree: Mova annot: Rust (en) → Haiku 5.5 (medium, Batches API) patches; gates UD 2.18; agreed by treeagree rules (Stanza, Trankit, spaCy trf): R5-strong ×1, R6-punct-agree ×1. The frames are read from the tree by Mova's frames reader (prag) when this page is built, the lesson read in order, so a pronoun may be resolved from an earlier sentence.
