Alveoli are tiny air sacs in the lungs where gas exchange occurs. When we inhale, oxygen from the air enters the alveoli and diffuses into the surrounding capillaries, where it binds to red blood cells. Simultaneously, carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled. This process is essential for providing oxygen to the body and removing waste gases.
