Aveoli can be damaged by obsessive smoking and general air pollution from burning fossil fuels (Such as coal). When aveoli is damaged, it loses surface area and therefore you cannot absorb enough oxygen to keep yourself healthy.

Where is the aveoli located?

The alveoli are small air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles in the lungs. They are responsible for gas exchange, where oxygen from the air is absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream into the lungs to be exhaled.


What does the word aveoli mean?

Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange takes place. Oxygen from the air we breathe passes into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide from the bloodstream is released into the alveoli to be exhaled.


What is aneima?

It seems like you may have a typo in your question. Did you mean "anemia"? Anemia is a condition characterized by a lack of healthy red blood cells in the body, leading to symptoms such as fatigue, weakness, and shortness of breath. It can be caused by various factors, including iron deficiency, vitamin B12 deficiency, or chronic diseases. Treatment for anemia depends on the underlying cause.


What would happen is an aveoli was damaged?

Damage to an alveoli can result in reduced surface area for gas exchange, which can lead to decreased oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide removal. This can result in difficulty breathing, decreased oxygen levels in the body, and potentially lead to conditions such as pneumonia or respiratory failure.


Contain aveoli bearing teeth?

Some mammals, such as shrews and moles, have teeth with a specialized structure called "alveoli" to hold the teeth firmly in place. These alveoli are small sockets within the jawbone where the tooth roots are anchored, providing stability for the teeth during chewing and biting.
