The part in your lungs where the air ends up. They are like 'sacs' and are where the exchange of oxygen from air into your blood stream takes place. This is also how carbon dioxide exits your body, through the alveoli in the lungs.

alveoli are small sac like membranes found inside your lungs. It is in the alveoli that the transfer of oxygen and carbon dioxide take place. Oxygen into the blood, carbon dioxide out of the blood and exhaled.
