the paouch like air secs at the smallest lenchioles is called alveoli.the walls of alveoli are very thin and they are sorrounding thin blood capllaries .it is in alveoli exchange of gaseouse takes place there are so many alveoli in blood so they provides very larges surface srea for cxchanges of gaseouse

What is the function of simple tissues?
They are designed to exchange materials such as the alveoli exchange gases or the capillary walls exchange fluid and nutrients with the intestitial tissues.
What is the function of simple epithelial tissues?
They are designed to exchange materials such as the alveoli exchange gases or the capillary walls exchange fluid and nutrients with the intestitial tissues.
Where in the lungs do you exchange gases?
In the lungs, exchange of gases occurs in the alveoli(sing: alveolus).
Where does the acual exchange of gasoccur?
The actual exchange of gases occurs in the alveoli
What process do alveoli participate in?
exchange of gases in respiratory
The site for exchange of gases in human beings is the?
alveoli
What is the significance of alveoli?
it is where exchange of gases takes place. :)
Is gas exchanged in the pleura?
--it is in the alveoli where the exchange of gases occur.. :))
What are the small chambers of the lungs that are involved in the exchange of gases?
The alveoli are small sacs within the lungs where gas exchange occurs. They are located at the ends of bronchiole branches.
How would thick-walled alveoli affect the exchange of the respiratory gases?
lower exchange rate,takes longer for gases to diffuse
What gases can you infer are being exchange in the alveoli?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide
What process is responsible for the exchange of gases in the alveoli and the blood?
The difference in the partial pressure of the gases in the blood coming to the lungs and the alveoli mediated the gas exchange. Without this difference we wont be able to breathe. Diaphragm in the thoracic cavity plays an important role in exchange of these respiratory gases.
