There are about 300 million alveoli in each of your lungs. These tiny air sacs provide an ideal site for the diffusion of gases into and out of the blood – also known as gaseous exchange.
The alveoli have a very large surface area – in fact if all of the alveoli in your lungs were spread out flat they would cover the area of a tennis court.
Alveoli
Yes, the clusters of air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs are called alveoli. They are surrounded by a network of capillaries, allowing for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and air.
You are correct.
They are called Alveoli. They act as the primary gas exchange. Their wall is thin, and is surrounded by capillaries. This allows exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the respiratory and circulatory systems.

In the Alveoli, air sacs, deep within the lungs.
In the air sacs oxygen and other gases are stored and separated to be put into the blood stream.
Lung tissue is alternatively called parenchyma. It is actually made up of clusters of soft, spongy air sacs known as lobules.
the thin-walled sacs in the lungs are the alveoli. they are tiny are sacks in your lungs.
