What is a lung compartment called?
The diaphragm is the muscle under the lungs that allows us to breathe. A compartment in the lung is an alveolus, or alveoli if you are talking about more than one.
How does the gas exchange in the alveoli?
Gas is exchanged by diffusion. We have followed the path of the air and of the oxygen into the bloodstream. But breathing is a two-way street: we breathe in and then we breathe out. When we breathe in, or inhale, oxygen is removed from the air. Breathing also removes waste from the lungs and from our noses and mouths. How does this waste material get into the air that we breathe out, or exhale? The thin walls of the alveoli actually have two purposes. When we breathe in, oxygen passes through the walls of the alveoli and into the blood. Carbon dioxide and water vapor then travel the opposite direction. They are the main waste products that pass from the blood vessels (arteries) in the lungs, into the alveoli, through the windpipe and out the nose and mouth. In the alveoli, oxygen crosses over into the blood stream and carbon dioxide leaves the blood stream and enters the alveoli to be expelled through the lungs.
