Alveoli are small, balloon-like structures in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. They are the endpoints of the respiratory tree, surrounded by capillaries that allow oxygen to enter the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to be expelled. Their thin walls facilitate efficient diffusion, making them essential for respiration. Alveoli collectively increase the surface area of the lungs, enhancing their ability to oxygenate blood.
