Do veins surround aveoli?
no
What kind of muscle tissue surround some blood vessels?

What will happen to carbon dioxide as blood flows around the alveoli?

What are the very small blood vessels that cover the alveoli?
The tiny blood vessels that surround the alveoli arecalled alveolar capillaries
How does heart purify blood with help of lungs?
Oxygen exchanges with CO2 (Carbon dioxide) to "purify" blood. This takes place in the aveoli (in the lungs) the blood is transported via blood vessels. Kidneys also purify blood
What sort of blood vessels are surrounding the air sacs in your lungs?
Capillaries are the blood vessels that surround the alveoli, or air sacs, in your lungs. These capillaries are the site of gas exchange.
What happens between the aveoli?
how does the exchange of gasses between the aveoli and blood happen
What are interstitial compartments?
Space that surround the cells of a given tissue
Surronding each air sac are small tubes that bring and carry blood what are they called?
The capillaries are the small blood vessels that surround each alveolus, or air sac.
What is surrounded by capillaries?
You didn't finish your question so we don't know what you're asking. Surround what?
What type of blood vessel is an aveolus?
Aveloli are the structures within the lungs, at the terminal end of bronchioles. They are not blood vessels. Aveoli resemble a cluster of grapes hanging off the smallest branches of a tree, with the tree upside down. The main bronchus in the upper chest is like the tree trunk, the bronchi branch and thin to bronchioles, then end at the aveoli. There O2 and CO2 exchange takes place.
