>From http://wiki.answers.com/Q/The_function_of_the_alveoli
"Alveoli are the tiny pockets in your lungs that store air for brief periods
to allow time for oxygen to absorbed into the blood-stream.
They are the site of gas exchange, this is where the oxygen is absorbed in
to the blood stream."

My alveoli and I are so thankful to know that. BTW, WTF are/is alveoli? I

My Great Uncle Ivor was gassed in the trenches in WW1.. cost him his larynx
and windpipe, ate
throught a tube, couldn't talk.
Smoking while using Brake cleaner or most dry-cleaning fluids such as
Trichlorethelyne also
results in the generation of Phosegene.
It wil also eat your alveoli !
Don't ask!!
