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.
The function of the bronchioles is to ensure that incoming air is supplied to each alveolus. The alveoli are surrounded by tiny blood vessels called capillaries. It is through the thin capillary walls that oxygen enters the blood, and carbon dioxide and water leave the blood.
