Why you do not exhale blood along with our breath if blood goes to the lungs?
Your blood passes through the capillaries. Air goes to the alveoli. So both are separated by the wall of alveoli and the wall of capillaries. This wall is very thin but then tough enough to prevent such spill. The gases readily get transferred through this thin membrane.
How thick is a capillary wall?
Capillaries are the smallest of all the blood vessels, they have extremely thin walls - just one cell thick. There are some spider-like cells (called pericytes) dotted along the outer wall of capillaries which help to stabilize them.
