Does gas exchange in the alveoli?

Why do alveoli die in emphysema?

Where in the respiratory tract does gas exchange occur?

What about alveoli?
Alveoli are expanded chambers of epithelial tissue which form the gas exchange surfaces of the lungs. Multiple alveoli share a common duct forming alveoli sacs.
What does blood from the body does what?
The oxygen is taken from the alveoli in the lungs.
What fills the alveoli?
Air. Alveoli are air sacs on the end of bronchioli. Gas exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen occurs through the alveoli.
Where in the lungs does gas extange occur?
