Answer:

There are from 200-500 million alveoli (mean diameter = 200 micrometers) in adult human lungs

Step-by-step explanation:

The epithelial cells of the alveolar septum are markedly thinned and the capillary network immediately beneath the epithelium is the richest in the body.hope this helps you :)
