The function of alviolis is to store oxygen. the avilois are atached to artries where oxygen is passed from alviolis to artreis and then into your heart. the blood that runs in that artry that enters your heart is called oxynated blood. this is red. the blood that leaves your heart that goes back to the lung is call dioxynated blood and this is blue. they are blue beacsue they have no oxygen
Alvioli are small air sacks in the lungs. they are little bags, that when you breath in, they expand! Hope this helped.

350 MILLION! That's alot!
The Alveoli itself can not be 'lost', but it is possible to lose their function. Alveoli can lose their ability to exchange Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide with Blood. They can lose their elasticity and eventually rupture. Once they have ruptured it is impossible to reverse, and the damage is permanent.
Little sacs called alvioli-- in the lungs.
Lung sacs are called, "Alvioli" (al-vee-OH-lee)
They are called alvioli (al-vee-oh-li)
The actual sites of gas exchange within the lungs are the alvioli.
The term 'bronchial tree' refers to the inner workings of the lungs. It includes the bronchi, bronchioles, and alvioli, all of which are necessary for breathing.
The respiratory surfaces are inside terrestrial organisms to protect them from dehydration and damage. Having the respiratory surface inside allows for controlled gas exchange and efficient transport of gases throughout the body. Additionally, it helps to maintain a consistent internal environment necessary for optimal cellular function.
In a cell in the human body diffusion takes place in the cell membrane. The cell membrane allows smaller sized molecules to pass through.
