What is the function of the aveoli duct?
To get inhaled air to the alveoi for gas exchange
What is the primary function of the aveoli?
The alveoli are the site of carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange between the air and the blood.
What absorbes oxygen from the air?
the aveoli in the Lungs
What happens between the aveoli?
how does the exchange of gasses between the aveoli and blood happen
What is the job of the bronchioles?
The brochiole's function is to allow oxygen to pass into the aveoli (air sacks covered in capillaries) where the oxygen can then enter your blood stream.
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.
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?
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.
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.
