The Alveoli itself can not be 'lost', but it is possible to lose their function. Alveoli can lose their ability to exchange Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide with Blood. They can lose their elasticity and eventually rupture. Once they have ruptured it is impossible to reverse, and the damage is permanent.
What else can I help you with?
What is a alvioli?
Alvioli are small air sacks in the lungs. they are little bags, that when you breath in, they expand! Hope this helped.
What are the smallest branches in the lungs called?
the alvioli
What is the last part of the respiratory tree?
alvioli
How many alvioli in one of an adults lungs?
350 MILLION! That's alot!
Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide into and out of the blood occurs in the?
Little sacs called alvioli-- in the lungs.
What is a saclike structure called of lung?
Lung sacs are called, "Alvioli" (al-vee-OH-lee)
Tiny sacs within the lungs which increasethe respiratory surface?

What is the bronchial?
The term 'bronchial tree' refers to the inner workings of the lungs. It includes the bronchi, bronchioles, and alvioli, all of which are necessary for breathing.
What diseases affect the alvioli?
Alveoli are the minute sacs inside the lungs that expand and contain a membrane that allows the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, called respiration. One of the major diseases that affect the alveoli is emphysema. That is when the walls between the alveoli breaks down and they lose surface area and become less efficient at respiration.
Where does diffusion takes place?
In a cell in the human body diffusion takes place in the cell membrane. The cell membrane allows smaller sized molecules to pass through.
How are the lungs designed to get as much oxegyn into the blood as possible?
The spelling for 'oxygen' is wrong. there are alvioli, air sacs present in the lungs to hold oxyden in the lungs. But be cool. Lungs will do all your work and you will not know any thing. Man, Dont panic.
