For the most part these tubes end blindly, but some of them communicate with the air sacs. This tubular system makes up the air- containing portion of the lungs. It is embedded in a net- work of almost naked blood vessels which make up the spongy tissue of the lungs. The aera- tion of the blood takes place through the walls of these vessels. The intimate relations of the tubular and vascular systems of the lungs are shown in Fig. 28. The air sacs are very large, thin-walled sacs which open into the bronchial tubes as described. When expanded with air these sacs fill all the available space in the thoracic- abdominal cavity and axilla. A small sac also lies along the.
