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.
An alveolus is a tiny air sac formed at the tip of the lungs' smallest airways, the bronchioles. The primary function of the alveoli is the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen.Tissues within the alveoli also carry out secondary functions, such as the production of hormones, enzymes, and pulmonary surfactant.he exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen is the primary function of the alveoli. The capillaries of the alveolus branch from both the pulmonary artery and the pulmonary vein.
