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: -The walls of the alveoli share a membrane with the capillaries. That’s how close they are. This lets oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse, or move freely, between the respiratory system and the bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-3: -Alveoli are tiny, balloon-shaped air sacs located at the end of the bronchioles, the branch-like tubes in the lungs. The alveoli move oxygen and carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules into and out of your bloodstream.
Detailed explanation-4: -The respiratory system takes up oxygen from the air we breathe and expels the unwanted carbon dioxide. The main organ of the respiratory system is the lungs. Other respiratory organs include the nose, the trachea and the breathing muscles (the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles).
