Do fetal lungs contain small amounts of atmospheric air in the alveoli?

How does oxygen get into the blood so quickly?
Oxygen from the air is diffused into the bloodstream in the lungs through tiny air sacs called alveoli, where it binds to hemoglobin in red blood cells. This process is facilitated by the high surface area of the alveoli and the thin walls that allow for rapid gas exchange. Additionally, the respiratory system has a rich network of capillaries surrounding the alveoli to quickly transport oxygen to the rest of the body.
How many alveoi does the lungs contain in the respiratory system?
millons of alveoli are in the lungs
Alveoli in the lungs are connected to the bronchi by a network of tiny tubes called?
Bronchioles.
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.
What is the singular form of the word alveoli?
One alveolus is a singular, tiny air sac of the lung, surrounded by a network of capillaries, and through which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. A cluster of such air sacs are alveoli (plural of alveolus).
How many aveoli do the lungs contain?
Each lung houses about 300-400 million alveoli.
