gas exchange is the intake of the oxygen and the let out of the carbon dioxide
Alveoli are found within the lungs. The alveoli act as a specialised gaseous exchange surface in mammals. Another function of alveoli is the production of surfactant.

A Bronchiolus is a respiratory bronchiole. They are the airways in which air passes through the nose or mouth. They help get air to the alveoli.
The bronchi are the tubes that actually carry the air to the lungs, they have a different function than the alveoli which function in the process for gas exchange.
Type 2 alveoli cells secrete surfactant, which helps to reduce surface tension in the alveoli. This allows for easier expansion of the alveoli during inhalation and prevents them from collapsing during exhalation, promoting efficient gas exchange.

No, carbon dioxide is not absorbed by the lungs or stored in the alveoli. Instead, the primary function of the alveoli is to facilitate the exchange of gases; oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream while carbon dioxide, a waste product of metabolism, is expelled from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. This process is essential for maintaining proper respiratory function and gas exchange in the body.

The major parts of the respiratory system include the lungs, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. The lungs are the primary organ where gas exchange occurs, the trachea and bronchi function to transport air to and from the lungs, and the bronchioles help regulate airflow. The alveoli are responsible for oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange in the bloodstream.
