How do alveolar and capillaries work together to provide the muscles with oxygen?
as it moves through blood vessels capillaries in the alveoli walls, your blood takes oxygen from the alveoli and gives off carbon dioxide to the alveoli
What is an example of an organism that benefits from reducing surface tension?
Humans benefit greatly from the work of Pulmonary surfactant which reduces the surface tension in the alveoli of the lungs. This reduction in alveolar surface tension prevents the alveoli from collapsing and thus causing suffocation.
What happens in the alveoli-?
Gaseous exchange takes place in the alveoli where carbon dioxide from the bloodstream diffuses into the air.
What are the small air tubes that lead to the alveoli called?
The tubes that connect the bronchi with the alveoli are the bronchioles.
Why is alveoli a component of the air blood barrier?
es air pass through on its way to the alveoli
A scavenger cell in your alveoli is called what?
Macrophages in the alveoli are scavengercells that work to keep the lung free of "foreign" materials.
How do alveolar and capillaries work together to provide the muscles with oxygen?

What are the tiny air sacs called in the bronchi branches?

What are the small sacs in the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
The humorus
What are the alveoli and what happens in them?

What do the alveoli in the body do?

What are small air sacs of lung tissue called?
Alveoli (pulmonis) or just alveoli.
How many alveoli do cheetahs have?
There are hundreds of thousands of alveoli.
What about alveoli?
Alveoli are expanded chambers of epithelial tissue which form the gas exchange surfaces of the lungs. Multiple alveoli share a common duct forming alveoli sacs.
