How does the structure of the alveoli allow for its function of gas exchange? What is the function of the alveoli? Describe how air from the environment gets to the alveoli in our lungs. In your description, link the structures to their functions. ...
Augmentation and Preservation of the Alveolar Process and Alveolar Ridge of Bone The alveolar process is the part of the maxilla and the mandible that house and support the alveoli of the teeth. It develops in conjunction with the development and eruption of the teeth, over the basal bone and...

alveolar bed- lung tissue densely packed with alveoli valve- a structure in a hollow organ (like the heart) with a flap to insure one-way flow of fluid through it vascular structure- a structure composed of or provided with blood vessels ...
Myoepithelial cells surround the alveoli, and play an important role in the secretion extrusion. The final secretion, elaborated by the iliac gland, is a mixture of mucus and protein. Both secretions are important to the cycloramphid biology, and may act as pheromone and/or as chemical ...

If the immune system is weakened, the bacteria may advance to the lower respiratory tract and start to replicate in the lung alveoli, causing pneumonia. Spn employs an array of virulence factors in order to successfully adhere to host cells, evade the immune system and progress through the ...

The alveoli and capillaries are arranged in such a way that air in the wall of the alveoli is only about 0.1 to 0.2 microns from the blood in the capillary. Since the concentration of oxygen is much higher in the alveoli than in the capillaries, the oxygen diffuses from the alveoli to ...
