Alveoli are found within the lungs. The alveoli act as a specialised gaseous exchange surface in mammals. Another function of alveoli is the production of surfactant.
Alveoli- these are the small sac-like structures where gas exchange occurs with the blood. Its creates an ideal site for gas exchange between the air in the lungs and the blood in the capillaries.
Alveoli exchange Oxygen with blood in capillaries
the blood surround Alveoli in order to gas exchange between the Alveoli and red blood cell.
Trachea, brochi, alveoli,lungs
the Alveoli serve as the surface area for the exchange of carbon-dioxide and oxygen within the lungs. These very thin structures contain small capillaries which carry the blood that take in the oxygen and give off CO2.
the alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries in the body
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli in the respiratory system. The thin-walled structures allow diffusion of gases into and out of the capillaries.
Capillaries
The alveoli branch from the bronchioles and are responsible for gas exchange with the pulmonary capillaries. They come in close contanct with the capillaries so the exchange of O2 and Co2 can occur rapidly and easily.
It takes place between the alveoli and the blood capillaries
alveoli.
Capillaries cover the alveoli in order to maximize the area for gas exchange between the lungs and the blood. Carbon dioxide is released from the blood through the capillary walls and into the alveoli, while oxygen is picked up from the alveoli through the capillary walls and into the blood.
