Disease in which the alveoli are distended and their walls damaged so that surface areas for gas exchange is reduced?

EmphysemaA disease whereby the elastin in the walls of the alveoli is broken down by an imbalance between the production of neutrophil elastase (elevated by cigarette smoke) and alpha-1-antitrypsin (the activity varies due to genetics or reaction of a critical methionine residue with toxins including cigarette smoke).The resulting loss of elasticity in the lungs leads to prolonged times for exhalation, which occurs through passive recoil of the expanded lung.This leads to a smaller volume of gas exchanged per breath.

When in the lungs does the blood absorb both oxygen and carbon dioxide?

The Carbon Dioxide is not absorbed into the blood it is only the oxygen. When you breathe in, the air travels down your windpipe, down the bronchi and then down the bronchis. On the end of the bronchioles, there are sacs called alveoli. These have a good blood supply surrounding them. The blood is absorbed through this small sac. The reason it can get through is that the walls of the alveoli are only one cell thick.
