The function of the alveoli is to get oxygen into the blood stream for transport to the tissues, and to remove carbon dioxide from the blood stream. In the lungs, air is diverted into smaller and smaller microscopic branches called respiratory bronchioles, which connect to the alveolar ducts.
Around 700 million alveoli are present in a pair of lungs. Wrapped in capillaries, these alveoli have a surface area of around 70 square meters. While each alveolus is about 200 micrometers in diameter, its size can increase when a person inhales. These alveoli usually contain elastic fibers, along with collagen.There is a purpose of alveoli containing these elastic fibers. When alveoli need to be stretched, it is these elastic fibers that support stretching. When a person inhales, elastic fibers are filled with air.rapped in capillaries, these alveoli have a surface area of around 70 square meters.
