What are alveoli used for?
300 million to 400 million alveoli are in each lung. Each of the alveoli receives blood from the circulatory system capillaries. It replaces carbon dioxide and other blood wastes with oxygen. The circulatory system then delivers the oxygen to cells throughout the body, bringing more wastes back to the lungs.

There are about 300 million alveoli in each of your lungs. These tiny air sacs provide an ideal site for the diffusion of gases into and out of the blood – also known as gaseous exchange.The alveoli have a very large surface area – in fact if all of the alveoli in your lungs were spread out flat they would cover the area of a tennis court.
