Alveoli in mammals exhibit key characteristics of an effective respiratory surface by providing a large surface area for gas exchange due to their extensive network and high number. They are thin-walled, consisting of a single layer of epithelial cells, which minimizes the distance for diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Additionally, alveoli are moist, allowing gases to dissolve and diffuse more easily, and are well-vascularized, ensuring efficient transport of gases to and from the bloodstream. These features collectively facilitate efficient respiration in mammals.

What does the alveoli of the lungs of a mammal do?
The alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs of mammals that are crucial for gas exchange. They provide a large surface area for oxygen to diffuse into the bloodstream and for carbon dioxide to be expelled from the blood. The thin walls of the alveoli, along with their extensive capillary networks, facilitate this efficient exchange, allowing mammals to breathe and sustain cellular respiration.
