WHAT DOES ALVEOLAR MEAN IN ENGLISH?

alveolar

Pulmonary alveolus

An alveolus is an anatomical structure that has the form of a hollow cavity. Found in the lung parenchyma, the pulmonary alveoli are the terminal ends of the respiratory tree, which outcrop from either alveolar sacs or alveolar ducts, which are both sites of gas exchange with the blood as well. Alveoli are particular to mammalian lungs. Different structures are involved in gas exchange in other vertebrates. The alveolar membrane is the gas-exchange surface. Carbon dioxide rich blood is pumped from the rest of the body into the alveolar blood vessels where, through diffusion, it releases its carbon dioxide and absorbs oxygen.

Definition of alveolar in the English dictionary

The first definition of alveolar in the dictionary is of, relating to, or resembling an alveolus. Other definition of alveolar is denoting the part of the jawbone containing the roots of the teeth. Alveolar is also articulated with the tongue in contact with the projecting part of the jawbone immediately behind the upper teeth.
