Definition of alveoli in English English dictionary: Air cells of the lungs; small air "sacks" deep in the lungs where exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen occurs Alveoli are delicate structures which are prone to damage from air pollutants; microscopic air spaces in the lung where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide; the small air sacs of the lung that are at the end of the airway; when droplet nuclei reach these air sacs, TB infection begins; tiny sacs that are the smallest airways of the lungs; Tiny sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged with the bloodstream; The tiny functional units of the lungs; Tiny sac-like air spaces in the lung where carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged; Bronchiolies eventually lead to tiny, stretchy sacs called alveoli These sacs blow up like tiny balloons when you breathe in Oxygen from the air passes through the walls of the alveoli into capillaries while carbon dioxide is passed out; the small, sac-like structural unit of the lung where oxygen is exchanged for carbon dioxide; Air sacs of the lungs; the air cells of a lung; thin-walled, small sacs located at the ends of the smallest airways in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place; The air we breathe in travels along a network of branching passageways until it reaches the alveoli – tiny, spherical air sacs that look like bunches of grapes The alveoli are the working units of the lung because it's here that oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the lung and blood; Alveoli are like small spherical clusters of grapes as part of the primary lung lobules where the exchange of gas between air and blood takes place; Tiny air sacs where oxygen is transferred into your lungs and carbon dioxide waste enters the airways in order to be exhaled out; Microscopic air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs with the circulatory system; The tiny sac-like air spaces in the lung where carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged; Air cells of the lungs, formed by the terminal dilation of tiny air passageways; Tiny airsacs within the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place; The millions of tiny compartments within the lungs at the ends of the airways (To imagine the shape, picture bunches of hollow grapes at the ends of hollow stems ) Also called "air sacs " Alveoli are where gas exchange takes place-that is, where the blood picks up oxygen (from the air a person has breathed in) and releases carbon dioxide (to be breathed out) (singular: alveolus); Tiny, balloon-like air sacks in the lungs Alveoli are designed to allow oxygen to pass rapidly into the blood and are also efficient at absorbing inhaled drugs; Tiny sac-like airspaces in the lungs, resembling a bunch of grapes, where carbon dioxide from the body is exchanged for oxygen from outside the body; The alveolus is a thin-walled sac, at the very end of the airway, where gas exchange takes place; tiny air sacs found at the end of the smallest branches of the bronchial tree; oxygen passes into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide passes into the lungs to be exhaled through the alveoli
