alveoli are small air sacs in the lungs as small as a grain of sand there are billions of these in the lungs and the purpose of these alveoli are to supply de oxygenated blood with a supply of oxygen through gas exchangethey are well equipped to do this as well00 million to 400 million alveoli are in each lung each of the alveoli receives blood from the circulatory system capillaries it replaces carbon dioxide and other blood was tes with oxygen
The alveoli consist of an epithelial layer and extracellular matrix surrounded by capillaries. In some alveolar walls there are pores between alveoli called Pores of Kohn. The alveoli contain some collagen and elastic fibres.The elastic fibers allow the alveoli to stretch as they are filled with air during inhalation.ronchial anatomy. A typical pair of human lungs contain about 700 million alveoli, producing 70m 2 of surface area. Each alveolus is wrapped in a fine mesh of capillaries covering about 70% of its area. An adult alveolus has an average diameter of 200 micrometres, with an increase in diameter during inhalation.
