Alveolaarõhk
Alveolaarõhk refers to the air present within the alveoli of the lungs. The alveoli are tiny, thin-walled air sacs where the vital exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place between the lungs and the bloodstream. This air is crucial for respiration, as it represents the final compartment of the respiratory tract where gases are transferred.
The composition of alveolar air differs from that of inhaled atmospheric air. Due to continuous uptake of
The continuous ventilation of the lungs ensures that alveolar air is regularly refreshed with incoming atmospheric
