A simplified histologic schematic of a pulmonary alveolus surrounded by a capillary network, showing the thin alveolar–capillary barrier for gas diffusion. The illustration depicts an anatomical structure (alveolus) within the lung, with red blood cells (RBCs) in capillary lumina encircling the air space. In anatomy, histology, and respiratory physiology, this microanatomic unit enables exchange of O2 (oxygen) and CO2 (carbon dioxide) across alveolar epithelium and capillary endothelium. Hierarchically, RBCs (cells) occupy capillaries (microvessels) embedded in alveolar tissue of the pulmonary parenchyma.
