Carbon dioxide diffuses from the capillaries surrounding the alveoli into the lungs where it is exhaled, and oxygen diffuses into the capillaries surrounding the alveoli into the bloodstream where it will circulate throughout the body.
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.
The alveoli are small air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles in the lungs. They are responsible for gas exchange, where oxygen from the air is absorbed into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is released from the bloodstream into the lungs to be exhaled.
Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange takes place. Oxygen from the air we breathe passes into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide from the bloodstream is released into the alveoli to be exhaled.
Damage to an alveoli can result in reduced surface area for gas exchange, which can lead to decreased oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide removal. This can result in difficulty breathing, decreased oxygen levels in the body, and potentially lead to conditions such as pneumonia or respiratory failure.
Some mammals, such as shrews and moles, have teeth with a specialized structure called "alveoli" to hold the teeth firmly in place. These alveoli are small sockets within the jawbone where the tooth roots are anchored, providing stability for the teeth during chewing and biting.
how does the exchange of gasses between the aveoli and blood happen
the aveoli in the Lungs
Normal lung tissue floats because of all the aveoli (tiny air pockets).
no cause aveoli are little air sacks in the lungs. they are not an organ they are in an organ.
CO2 diffuses from the blood to the alveoli and the exhalation removes the CO2 from the body.
no

What is filtration
aveoli
oxygen.
no, in the aveoli
