Alveoli
Alveoli are small air sacs within the lungs where gas exchange occurs. Comprising millions in the lungs, alveoli facilitate oxygen transfer to the blood and remove carbon dioxide. The alveoli's thin walls and extensive capillary networks ensure efficient respiratory function. Damage to alveoli may impair breathing and oxygenation.
