Why alveoli so small and uncountable in number?

The small size, coupled with the vast amount of alveoli - means that the body can absorb much more oxygen than if our lungs were simply two huge 'empty bags'. The surface area is far greater in our lungs because of the number of alveoli.


What are features of the alveolus which help them do their jobs so well?

i don't know what the answer is :)


Gas exchange occurs at the respiratory membrane between the?

The membrane of the alveolus, the air sacs in the lungs where this process takes place, is only one cell thick. The wall of the capillary running adjacent to the alveolus is also one cell thick, so the gases are exchanged between the alveolus and the capillary cell membranes.


What is the plural of ethics?

"Ethics" is uncountable and so has no plural.


What is the function of the moisture layer inside an alveolus?

The alveolus is a air sac that holds the oxygen. It squashes the oxygen molecules so they diffuse from the alveolus into the capillary. From there, they attach themselves to deoxygenated Red Blood Cells. The oxygen in the blood plasma are also squashed and are diffused. They go from the capillary to the alveoli to get breathed out. The alveoli transfers the oxygen to the lung capillaries and oxygenates the blood, then it is breathed out as Carbon Dioxide.

What does infinity times infinity equal?

infinity2 Well, your question does not specify whether the infinities are "countable" infinities (such as the number of integers) or "uncountable" infinities (such as the number of real numbers). If both multiplicands are countable infinities, the product is also countable infinity. If either multiplicand is uncountable, the product is uncountable infinity. Countable infinity is known as "Aleph null", and uncountable infinity as "Aleph one". Infinity times zero may possibly be equivalent to zero though ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ∞ x ∞ = ∞ infinity times infinity equals to infinity Infinity is already the highest number. Technically speaking, there is no highest number. So infinity infinity's is infinity cause infinity is never ending.

Why does oxygen diffusion from the alveolus to the alveolar capillary occur?

Diffusion (of anything) occurs because of a concentration gradient meaning there is more oxygen in one place than another. Alveolus when you inhale will have a higher concentration of oxygen that that of the alveolar capillary resulting in a concentration gradient, this causing diffusion to occur until equilibrium is met. This means more oxygen in alveolus so oxygen travels into the alveolar capillary until a balanced amount of oxygen is in both places, but then of course the oxygen is transported and you exhale and inhale so the process repeats.
