Description

This detailed animation offers an in-depth look at the structure and function of pulmonary alveoli, the tiny air sacs in the lungs responsible for gas exchange. The video showcases how alveoli interact with surrounding blood vessels, facilitating the efficient transfer of oxygen into the bloodstream and the removal of carbon dioxide. It highlights the roles of alveolar macrophages in lung defense and alveolar type 2 cells in surfactant production, which helps maintain alveolar stability. Ideal for medical students, healthcare professionals, and educators, this video is a valuable resource for understanding respiratory physiology, making complex lung functions easy to visualize and comprehend.
