Tiny saclike air spaces in the lungs, where there's a transfer of carbon dioxide from the blood into the lungs, and of oxygen from the lungs into the blood.
microscopic air sacs that are surrounded by a rich network of blood vessels in mammalian lungs that function in gas exchange; the air sacs are at the end of the bronchioles.
The air sacks at the very end of the air passages in the lungs, where oxygen is passed to the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is removed.
"Grape-like" sacs at the end of the airways in the lungs. Oxygen and carbon dioxide move between the lungs and blood through the alveoli.
Small sacs in the lungs through whose walls air and other vapors are exchanged between the breath and the blood.
are balloon-like sacs of air at the end of each bronchioles.
Alveoli are like small spherical clusters of grapes and are part of the primary lung lobules where the exchange of gas between air and blood takes place.
Tiny sacs at the ends of bronchioles in the lungs; oxygen and carbon dioxide gas exchange takes place here with red blood cells in adjacent capillaries.
Lung air sacs located at the terminal end of airways and surrounded by blood capillaries--the site of gas exchange in the lung.
Small saclike areas of the lungs that make up the alveolar region.
tiny sacks at the end of your bronchial tubes called alveoli are where the oxygen from the air enters your blood, and the carbon dioxide from your body goes into the air. Thickening of tissues and scarring caused by asbestos fibres can prevent oxygen and carbon dioxide from travelling between the alveoli and the blood cells, so breathing becomes much less efficient
The alveoli in the lungs are the small grape-like clusters of outpouchings at the end of the lung's air ducts, where gas exchange (oxygen, carbon dioxide) takes place.
Tiny air sacs in the Lungs where Oxygen is taken in and Carbon Dioxide is removed.
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.
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, 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 air sacs where oxygen is transferred into your lungs and carbon dioxide waste enters the airways in order to be exhaled out.
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.
Air cells of the lungs, formed by the terminal dilation of tiny air passageways.

are tiny air balloons at the end of bronchioles. This is the place where the air (oxygen) from your lungs can enter into your blood to be carried all over the body. All parts of a person's body need oxygen to live.
Microscopic air sacs located at the end of the respiratory tract; Grape-like clusters of sacs that allow inhaled oxygen to enter the bloodstream and carbon dioxide to leave the bloodstream
Tiny sac-like air spaces in the lungs where transfer of carbon dioxide from blood into the lungs and oxygen from air into blood takes place.
Tiny air sacs in the lungs that facilitate the oxygen/blood exchange. These are cells primarily affected by asbestosis.
Tiny air sacs within the lungs; the site for exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide.
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.
Bubble-like air sacs in the lungs.
small air sacs in the lungs where gases are exchanged.
Small air sacs in the lungs that expel carbon dioxide from the bloodstream and accept oxygen in to it.
Tiny, thin-walled air sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange places. Asbestos fibers in the lungs cause scar tissue to form on the walls of the alveoli, decreasing oxygen intake.
the tiny air sacs in the lungs; an adult has about 300 million. When air is breathed in, it goes via the airways to the alveoli, where oxygen is taken from them into the bloodstream.
tiny sacs in the lungs, where oxygen passes between the lungs and the blood. They are also known as air sacs.
A sac like end organ of the bronchioles where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
terminal air sacs of the mammalian respiratory system.
Tiny milk-producing sacs that are arranged in clusters throughout the breast. Each breast has hundreds of alveoli. Once the milk is produced, itâ€(tm)s secreted into tube-shaped ducts that travel to the nipple.
air sacs in the lungs where oxygen and carbon-dioxide are exchanged.
Small air bags at the end of airways, where gases are moved in and out of the body (oxygen and carbon dioxide).
Tiny air sacs of the lungs, formed at the ends of bronchioles; through the thin walls of the alveoli, the blood takes in oxygen and gives up its carbon dioxide in the process of respiration.
Blind pockets at the end of the respiratory tree, lined by a simple squamous epithelium and surrounded by a capillary network; sites of gas exchange with the blood; a bony socket that holds the root of a tooth.
These are tiny sacs in the lungs that exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide with the bloodstream.
tiny air sacs in the lung.
tiny ‘air sacs’, at the end of branching of lung tree, where oxygen is delivered to the blood stream and carbon dioxide is removed.
Small, thin-walled sacs located at the end of the smallest airways in the lungs — This is where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.
The tiny sacs deep within the lungs where the oxygen-carbon dioxide exchange takes place.
(al- vee-o-lie): air sacs of the lungs.
