Alveoli are tiny air sacs that are grouped like grapes, except they are on an upside down "tree" like structure. Air flows into the lungs. RBCs in capillaries exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide at each alveolus-- millions of molecules at once. The sole purpose of these tiny sacs is exchange of gases. If they flatten, like in COPD, the person receives less oxygen.
