Assertion (A): Alveoli contain an extensive  network of blood vessels.  

Reason (R): Alveoli is the site where exchange of  gases occurs.

  • The alveoli of lungs are richly supplied with blood
  •  Alveoli are the sites where exchange of gases (O 2 and CO 2 ) occurs between blood and the atmosphere. 
  • The alveoli increase the surface area for this exchange of gases and hence have an extensive network of blood vessels to maximise efficiency.
