25
Alveoli are :
Sacs at the end of the bronchioles, they are | surrounded by blood capillaries .
26
Alveoli function:
It is here that the oxygen diffuses across the membrane into the capillaries, and carbon dioxide goes from the capillaries to the inside of the lungs.
27
The structure of the alveoli ______(increases/decreases) surface area of lung
increases
28
For alveoli to function properly they are coated with _______ that keep them open
phospholipid molecules surfactant

3. bronchus
33
Gas exchange takes place here 1. pharynx 2. trachea 3. bronchioles 4. alveoli
4. alveoli
34
