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.


Why can lugs obsorb large amount of Oxygen?

They absorb so much oxygen because of the Alveoli. An Alveoli are the endings of small tubes that are located in your lungs and transfer oxygen to your capillaries.


What are at the end of each bronchiole are tiny air sacs called?

The small sacs at the end of the Bronchial tubes are called the anus.PL77 * erm i think you have the wrong organ system, that is the end of the digestive system bronchial tubes are in the respiratory system and the small sacs attached to the bronchial tubes are called alveoli they are air sacs in the lungs*


How are the alveoli designed to maximise the exchange of gases?

the paouch like air secs at the smallest lenchioles is called alveoli.the walls of alveoli are very thin and they are sorrounding thin blood capllaries .it is in alveoli exchange of gaseouse takes place there are so many alveoli in blood so they provides very larges surface srea for cxchanges of gaseouse


Has a greater partial pressure in the pulmonary capillaries than in the alveoli so it diffuses into the?

C02:alveoli


The bronchi go directly into the alveoli.?

The passage way is Bronchi to Bronchioles then alveoli to alveolar ducts and exchange of gasses occurs in alveoli. So Answer is No..bronchi not goes directly to alveoli.


What are the advantages of having so many clusters of alveoli in the lungs?

if the lungs is having so many clusters of alveoli it can easily pass the co2.


What is the plural of ethics?

Do alveoli have C shaped rings around them?

Alveoli are surrounded by capillaries so that the oxygen can diffuse into the blood and carbon dioxide can diffuse out. I think it depends on the shape of the alveoli to the path of the capillary.


What is the cause of alveoli in lungs?

alveoli are tiny branches of the lungs where blood travels to be oxygenated so it is useful to the rest of the body.


How the air is exchanged from the lungs to the blood?

air exchange takes place at the juction of blood cappileries and alveoli where the pressure of air is high in alveoli and low in blood so air from alveoli rush into blood and CO2 from blood rush in to alveoli which is then breath out


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.
