18 Ιουν 2023 · Alveoli are tiny air sacs that move oxygen and carbon dioxide between your blood and the air. Learn about the structure, function, and diseases of the alveoli, and how to keep your lungs healthy.
Learn how alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs, facilitate gas exchange between the atmosphere and the blood. Understand the gas laws, the composition and partial pressures of alveolar air, and the mechanisms of ventilation and perfusion.
The inter-alveolar septum provides the structural basis for gas exchange in the lung (see Weibel 1973; Weibel and Gil 1977; Maina and West 2006). It separates the air compartment (alveolar airspace) from the blood compartment (capillary lumen).
Gas exchange takes place in the millions of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that envelop them. As shown below, inhaled oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries, and carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries to the air in the alveoli.
