Cappilarisation is where the capillaries in the lungs and surrounding the alveoli increase in numbers, making gaseous exchange in the lungs more efficient so that the respiratory system is more efficient gnereally and during exercise, meaning the heart does not have to work at a higher level to supply nutrients and oxygen to muscles and organs.

Capillarization of the alveoli refers to the process of increased development and density of capillaries around the alveoli in the lungs. This facilitates more efficient gas exchange between the alveoli and the blood, allowing for improved oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide removal. Capillarization is a natural adaptation to conditions that require increased oxygen delivery, such as during exercise or at high altitudes.

What happens in the alveoli-?
Gaseous exchange takes place in the alveoli where carbon dioxide from the bloodstream diffuses into the air.
What is another name for the air sacs?
i think its called the ALVEOLI
What is a septal cell?
A septal cell is a type of cell found in the alveoli of the lungs. These cells help to support the structure of the alveoli and are involved in gas exchange during respiration.
What division of the respiratory system exchanges gases with the blood?
The alveoli is the division of the respiratory system where gas exchange with the blood occurs. Oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses into the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled.
Which structure branches further into alveoli?
The bronchioles branch further into the alveoli in the respiratory system. Alveoli are tiny air sacs where gas exchange occurs between the lungs and the blood.
What the word alveoli mean?

What is the functional unit of lungs?

What does the word aveoli mean?
Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange takes place. Oxygen from the air we breathe passes into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide from the bloodstream is released into the alveoli to be exhaled.
What are the tiny air sacs called in the bronchi branches?
Alveoli
What are the small sacs in the lungs where carbon dioxide is exchanged for oxygen?
The humorus
What are the alveoli and what happens in them?
the alveoli is happen the blood
What do the alveoli in the body do?
alveoli take co2 from
What are small air sacs of lung tissue called?
Alveoli (pulmonis) or just alveoli.
How many alveoli do cheetahs have?
There are hundreds of thousands of alveoli.
What about alveoli?
Alveoli are expanded chambers of epithelial tissue which form the gas exchange surfaces of the lungs. Multiple alveoli share a common duct forming alveoli sacs.
