The alveoli are the sites of gas exchange in the lungs. They are round and numerous, so the surface area is maximised for increased volumes of oxygen and carbon dioxide to pass through. Their membranes are very thin, and they are surrounded by a network of capillaries to further increase the efficiency of the gas exchange process.
The functional unit in the lungs that performs gas exchange.
The alveoli basically serves as a barrier between the blood and the air, through which air can easily pass through and be taken up by the blood.
Aveoli supplies the cardiovascular system with oxygen
how does the exchange of gasses between the aveoli and blood happen
Pulmany Surfactants. This is accomplished by lowering the surface tension in the aveoli. When the surface tension in the aveoli is decreased it allows for easier reinhilation of the aveoli because there is less work required to do reinflate them.

To get inhaled air to the alveoi for gas exchange
The alveoli are the site of carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange between the air and the blood.
the aveoli in the Lungs
how does the exchange of gasses between the aveoli and blood happen
no cause aveoli are little air sacks in the lungs. they are not an organ they are in an organ.
no
in the lungs
What is filtration
alveoli
Aveoli can be damaged by obsessive smoking and general air pollution from burning fossil fuels (Such as coal). When aveoli is damaged, it loses surface area and therefore you cannot absorb enough oxygen to keep yourself healthy.
