Alveoli


The air sacs in the lings where gases move into and out of the blood are called?

Oxygen must enter our blood and Carbon Dioxide must leave the blood through our lungs. They do so by diffusion between the cappillaries.


Where does gas exchange occur between the lungs and blood?

An alveolus (plural: alveoli, from Latin alveolus, "little cavity") is an anatomical structure that has the form of a hollow cavity. Found in the lung parenchyma, the pulmonary alveoli are the dead ends of the respiratory tree, which outcrop from either alveolar sacs or alveolar ducts, which are both sites of gas exchange with the blood as well.


What sort of blood vessels are surrounding the air sacs in your lungs?

Capillaries are the blood vessels that surround the alveoli, or air sacs, in your lungs. These capillaries are the site of gas exchange.


Is blood transported through the alveolis?

No, blood is not transported through the alveoli. The alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs between the lungs and the blood vessels. Oxygen is taken in from the air and carbon dioxide is removed from the blood in the alveoli.
