alveolar = air sac simple squamous epithelium; single layer of flattened cells with disc-shaped central nuclei and sparse cytoplasm; the simplest of the epithelium. function: allows passage of materials by diffusion and filtration in sites where protection is not important; secretes lubricating substances in serosae. location: kidney glomeruli; air sacs of the lungs; lining of hear, blood vessels, and lymphatic vessels; lining of ventral cavity (serosae).

Alveolar means pertaining the the alveolus (plural alveoli), the small air sacs in the lungs.

There are approximately 300 million alveolar sacs in the human body. The range in size from 70-300um(micro meters) in Diameter.
Alveolar volume is lung capacity. Alveoli are the air sacs in the bronchioles. How much air the lungs hold during both inspiration and expiration is lung capacity which is alveolar volume. Hope this helps
Environmental conditions such as pollution and smoke could permanently damage the alveolar sacs.

That sounds like a general description of the LUNGS.The lungs are loaded with pulmonary alveoli: small outpouchings along the walls of the alveolar sacs and alveolar ducts; through them, gas exchange takes place between alveolar gas and pulmonary capillary blood.
well.... of course they are called scymeonary pronounced sy meo nary by the way did you know wiki answers mostly are wrong! yep, i know... you are surprised dont use wiki answers or else you will get a F!
Blood releases carbon dioxide and acquires oxygen, in the lungs. The opposite exchange takes place throughout the body on a cellular level, as each cell consumes oxygen from the blood and releases carbon dioxide into the blood.
Alveolar ducts and tracts are the site of gas exchange in the lungs.
Carbon dioxide ;D and carbon dioxide leaves it. 8)
