The Importance of Surface Area Alveoli of Lungs

The Importance of Surface Area Alveoli of Lungs alveoli Alveoli are first located in the respiratory bronchioles that mark the beginning of the respiratory zone They are located sparsely in these bronchioles, line alveoli Alveoli have moist walls that are only one cell thick which makes the exchange surface very thin and the process of diffusion much quicker

alveoli This may cause excessive mechanical forces in aerated lung regions, between aerated and nonaerated lung regions, or in bronchioles and alveoli that open and

alveoli The stresses resulting from surface tension in the alveoli act in a way that the inter-alveolar septa would pile up in the corner of the Alveoli: Alveoli are tiny sacs that are found in the lungs The exchange of gases takes place in the alveoli during respiration takes place
