Alveoli are the minute sacs inside the lungs that expand and contain a membrane that allows the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide, called respiration. One of the major diseases that affect the alveoli is emphysema. That is when the walls between the alveoli breaks down and they lose surface area and become less efficient at respiration.
