      How are the alveoli designed to maximize the exchange of gases?   [NCERT]

    Answer:

                      Alveoli are small pouches or sacs like structure. They are surrounded by blood capillaries. Thus a large amount of air is brought in contact with the air in the lungs. More than millions of alveoli are present in the lungs. The presence of millions of alveoli in the lungs provides a very large surface area for the exchange of gases. The availability of large surface area maximizes the exchange of gases.
