Compare the functioning of alveoli in the lungs and nephrons in the kidneys with respect to their structure and functioning?
the alveoli provide a suface where exchange of gases can take place. The walls of the alveoli contain an extensive network of blood vessels.when we breath in, we lift our ribs and flatten our diaphragm,and the chest cavity becomes larger as a result. Because of this,air is sucked into lungs and fills the expanded alveoli.
What else can I help you with?
Why are capillaries found in alveoli nephrons and villi?
Wherever capillaries are found, these are places where nutrients and wastes are exchanged.
What is the name of the structure identified by the letter a?
Alveoli
Which structure in the human body is similar in function to leaves?
the alveoli
Which structure branches further into alveoli?
the bronchiole
What is the smallest functioning unit of breast?
The smallest functioning unit of the breast is the lobule, which is made up of clusters of milk-producing cells called alveoli. These alveoli are surrounded by ducts that transport milk to the nipple during breastfeeding.

Is the alveoli the smallest structure of the respiratory system?
no
What structure regulates airflow to the alveoli?
bronchioles
What is the name of the structure identified by the letter a?
Alveoli
Explain how the processes in the alveoli and in the nephrons both involve excretion?
idk and i dont CARE cuz this is boring and if you look this up THEN GOOD LUCK FINDING IT
What structure in the lungs contains the thinnest epithelium?
The structure in the lungs that contains the thinnest epithelium is the alveoli. Alveoli are air sacs where the exchange of gases takes place.
Gas exchange in the lungs occurs in what structure?
alveoli
Which structure in the respiratory zone has the thinnest wall?
ALVEOLI
What structure is at the end of the smallest tubes in lungs?
alveoli
Why are capillaries and not arteries or veins found in alveoli nephrons and villi?
vessel walls must be thin to allow ease to transfer of molecules to these tissues i had this on a test and i got it right :)
Which structure in the human body is similar in function to leaves?
the alveoli
How does the structure of the alveoli help do it jobs?
one feature is that an alveoli has a wide surface area. If you know any other features then add them!
