Expert's answer

The function of the alveoli is to allow the lungs and the blood exchange carbon dioxide and oxygen during breathing in and breathing out.

The alveoli are bolloon-shaped structures and their walls are very thin for easy exchange of oxygen and CO2 between it and the very small blood vessels called capillaries.
