Which of the following structures is involved in the gas exchange function of the respiratory system?
The alveoli are the structures in the respiratory system that are involved in the gas exchange function. They are tiny air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles in the lungs where oxygen from the air is taken up by the blood and carbon dioxide is released from the blood into the lungs to be exhaled.

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.

What is the function of a pulmonary arteriole?
a pulmonary artieriole is part of the respiratory system. inside the respiratory system is an organ called alveoli and the alveoli are covered in a network of capillary. the job of the pulmonary arteriole is to carry deoxygenated blood into the capillary network.
How many alveoi does the lungs contain in the respiratory system?
millons of alveoli are in the lungs
What organ system does a lungs belong to?
