Alveoli
What tiny air sac is surrounded by blood capillaries?
Alveoli which are in your lungs
Do alveoli have C shaped rings around them?
Alveoli are surrounded by capillaries so that the oxygen can diffuse into the blood and carbon dioxide can diffuse out. I think it depends on the shape of the alveoli to the path of the capillary.
How can the oxygen you bring into your body get to your circulatory system?
your lungs have structures called alveoli. The alveoli are surrounded by capillary beds which carry blood. The oxygen enters the alveoli when you inhale. The oxygen then diffuses from high concentration in your alveoli to low concentration the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli.

Where in the lungs does diffusion take place and what gasses are diffused?
---------------------------- The exchange of gasses takes place across the Alveoli, which are air spaces surrounded by very small air sacs and have a rich supply of blood, because they are surrounded by capillaries. The lungs are made up of many alveoli which are the respiratory surface. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the blood in the capillaries and carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood in the capillaries into the alveoli.
What is the singular form of the word alveoli?
One alveolus is a singular, tiny air sac of the lung, surrounded by a network of capillaries, and through which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. A cluster of such air sacs are alveoli (plural of alveolus).
