Q

3 types of alveoli

A

alveoli - 3 types. type 1 and 2 are the epithelium. type 1 is 95% of surves and is a barrier btw air and alveolar surface. type 2 is 5% and produces type 1 cells and surfactant. 3rd type is alveolar macrophages.

Q

respiration

A

after capillary exchange, blood enters venous circulation and goes to pulmonary circulation. O2 in blood in capillaries is lower than in the alveoli. O2 then diffuses from alveoli to blood. Co2 the other direction.
