Carbon dioxide diffuses from the capillaries surrounding the alveoli into the lungs where it is exhaled, and oxygen diffuses into the capillaries surrounding the alveoli into the bloodstream where it will circulate throughout the body.

Where is the aveoli located?
in the lungs
What cause distruction to aveoli?
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.
What does the word aveoli mean?
what does the word alveolli mean
What is the flow chart for the respiratory system?
Nose/Mouth,trchea,bronchus,lungs,bronchioles,aveoli.
What would happen is an aveoli was damaged?
We would not be able to exchange gases and we could not breathe well or at all.
What happens between the aveoli?
how does the exchange of gasses between the aveoli and blood happen
What absorbes oxygen from the air?
the aveoli in the Lungs
What happens to the tissue when you put it in water?
Normal lung tissue floats because of all the aveoli (tiny air pockets).
Is the aveoli an organ?
no cause aveoli are little air sacks in the lungs. they are not an organ they are in an organ.
What happens to the carbon dioxide in the blood when it flows through the capillares in the aveoli?
CO2 diffuses from the blood to the alveoli and the exhalation removes the CO2 from the body.
Do veins surround aveoli?
no
Where is the aveoli located?
in the lungs
Is there osmosis for aveoli of lungs?
What is filtration
What are millions in the lungs?
alveoli
What cause distruction to aveoli?

Name the slippy secretion that keep the alveolar walls from sticking together?
Pulmany Surfactants. This is accomplished by lowering the surface tension in the aveoli. When the surface tension in the aveoli is decreased it allows for easier reinhilation of the aveoli because there is less work required to do reinflate them.
How does the gas you breathe in get in your cells?
aveoli sac
