How can you use alveoi in a sentence?

Where in the lungs does gas exchange take place?
In the alveoli (also called air sac) is the capillary-rich sac in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place by diffusion. The oxygen poor blood goes from the right ventricle and into the lungs where the co2 is traded for Oxygen in the alveoli and back through the heart and out to the body.
How are the respiratory and digestive systems linked?
The respiratory and digestive systems are linked through the pharynx, a common passage at the back of the mouth where the pathways for air and food cross. The pharynx allows for breathing and swallowing to occur without obstruction. Additionally, both systems work together to provide the body with oxygen and nutrients needed for energy production.
How does the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen take place in the lungs?
In the lungs, oxygen from the air enters the bloodstream through tiny blood vessels called capillaries surrounding the alveoli. At the same time, carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. This gas exchange process occurs due to differences in partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries.
