Blood does not go into the alveoli, that would only result from a hemorrhage. Blood does come close to the alveolar sacs via small capillaries that are there to perform an action called gas exchange. This process occurs as a result of diffusion and releases the carbon dioxide in the red blood cells and is replaced by oxygen to be carried to the body tissues and used in tissue respiration.

How does oxygen that he breathes in with air get into his blood?

Oxygen from the air enters the lungs and is then diffused through the alveoli walls into the bloodstream. The oxygen binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells and is transported to body tissues where it is used for cellular respiration.
