alveoli
Grape like bunches of tiny air chambers are found at the end of each bronchiole. Each chamber contains several cup-shaped cavities called alveoli. The one cell thick wall are the respiratory surface. It is through these walls that oxygen and carbon exchange takes place between blood and air. There are only about 300 million alveoli in the lungs. That is a total surface area of 70m2.
