300 million to 400 million alveoli are in each lung. Each of the alveoli receives blood from the circulatory system capillaries. It replaces carbon dioxide and other blood wastes with oxygen. The circulatory system then delivers the oxygen to cells throughout the body, bringing more wastes back to the lungs.
