What are tiny air sacs surrounded by capillaries?
Alveoli.
What are the tiny blood vessels that wrap around the air sacs?
Capillaries . The smallest of the blood vessels: capillaries.
What is the name of the organ that you use to breathe in oxygen?
the air goes into your lungs. In your lungs there are billions of tiny air sacs. Surrounding each air sac is a network of blood capillaries. The air sacs and the blood capillaries are separated by a thin membrane. Across this membrane the air sacs give the blood capillaries oxygen and they blood capillaries give the air sacs carbon dioxide. We breathe out this carbon dioxide!
What is tiny vessels surrounding lung tissue through which gasses pass into and out of the blood?
capillaries
The tiny air sac in the lung?
These are called alveoli. The singular term is alveolus.
What are the tiny air sacs within the lungs that are made of a single layer of squamous epithelial tissue and are covered with very small capillaries?

What are the characteristics of adult respiratory distress syndrome?
Another name for ARDS is shock lung. Its formal name is misleading, because children, as well as adults, may be affected. In the lungs the smallest blood vessels, or capillaries, make contact with the alveoli, tiny air sacs.
Why is it better for a lung to consist of thousands of tiny air sacs rather than one large air sac?
Consisting of thousands of tiny air sacs increases the surface area inside of the lung which allows for better gas exchange. If the lung was made of one larger air sac, you would not be able to exchange as many gases (oxygen/CO2) with each breath.
What part of the lower respiratory tract is made up of tiny air sacks where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged?
The Alveoli are the tiny sacs and they are located through out the whole lung.
What are the tiny air sacs at the end of the smallest tubes in the lungs?
The smallest tube in the lungs is the Bronchus
What Carbon dioxide is removed from the bloodstream by?
lungs
