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.
Alveoli. The epithelium of the alveoli, contains two main types of cells: 1. type I pneumocytes: large flattened cells - (95% of the total alveolar area) which present a very thin diffusion barrier for gases.They are connected to each other by tight junctions.2. type II pneumocytes (making up 5% of the total alveolar area, but 60% of total number of cells).lveoli.
