Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
The tiny pouches where the exchange of oxygen of carbon dioxide takes place are called
A
Alveoli
B
Lungs
C
Bronchioles
D
Trachea
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles (tiny branches of air tubes in the lungs). The alveoli are where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and breathing out.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -In your lungs, the main airways, called bronchi, branch off into smaller and smaller passageways. The smallest airways, called bronchioles, lead to tiny air sacs called alveoli.

Detailed explanation-4: -People have an average of 480 million alveoli in their lungs, located at the end of bronchial tubes. When you breathe in, the alveoli expand to take in oxygen.
