What cause distruction to aveoli?

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.


What does the word aveoli mean?

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.


What would happen is an aveoli was damaged?

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.


Contain aveoli bearing teeth?

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.


What is the flow chart for the respiratory system?

A typical flow chart for the respiratory system would include steps such as inhalation of air through the nose or mouth, passage through the trachea, branching into bronchi, reaching the alveoli in the lungs for gas exchange, and finally exhalation of carbon dioxide. This flow chart would capture the overall process of respiratory system function.
