The human gas exchange system: structure

  • The human gas exchange system contains the following structures:

    • alveoli (singular alveolus)

    • bronchioles

    • bronchi (singular bronchus)

    • trachea

    • lungs

Diagram of the human respiratory system, labelled with nasal cavity, trachea, lung, bronchus, bronchiole, alveoli, pleural cavity, ribs, intercostal muscle, diaphragm.
The human gas exchange system is a series of organs that work together to enable gas exchange

Structure

Description

Alveoli

A series of tiny sacs with structural adaptations that maximise gas exchange

The site of gas exchange in the lungs

Bronchioles

Narrow tubes that connect the alveoli to the bronchi

Bronchi

A pair of tubes that connect the bronchioles in each lung to the trachea

Trachea

The airway, or windpipe, that connects the bronchi with the mouth and nose

Lungs

Two lungs in the chest cavity are the organs of gas exchange
