its for Connexus whats the answer
The function of the alveoli is to facilitate the exchange of gases (specifically oxygen and carbon dioxide) between the respiratory system and the bloodstream.
is carbon dioxide in the air or the blood stream
Carbon dioxide is primarily found in the bloodstream. It is produced as a waste product during cellular respiration and is transported through the bloodstream to the lungs. In the alveoli, carbon dioxide diffuses from the bloodstream into the lungs to be exhaled. However, there is also a small amount of carbon dioxide present in the air due to human respiration and other sources.
