Heading down there in August too. I'm no expert, but having vacationed in the OBX the last 5 years, I know August is the early portion of hurricane season. Most season's typically peak in September, but August has its fair share (Katrina). Jamaica is just as vulnerable as any other island in that neighborhood.
Gas exchange in the lungs takes place in the tiny air sacs called alveoli in the lungs. The process of inhalation must inflate the alveoli, but it can only do so because of the presence of a surfactant fluid that coats the alveoli and lowers the surface tension of their walls.as exchange in the lungs takes place in the tiny air sacs called alveoli in the lungs.

Report Abuse. The lung are the organ that do the breathing. The lungs are in a kind of airtight container inside your ribcage. The only way air can get in or out is through your mouth and trachea. At the bottom of this air tight container is a layer of muscle called the diaphragm.hen air is inhaled into your lungs, the oxygen in the air is transferred to your blood stream through caplilaries (think of very thin veins). The oxygen is then transferred to the cells through blood.
