The function of alveoli in the lungs is to exchange oxygen with carbon dioxide. This is where gas exchange occurs, with oxygen entering the bloodstream and carbon dioxide being removed from the bloodstream. This process allows for the delivery of oxygen to cells throughout the body and removal of waste carbon dioxide.
