Air sacs have cavities {alveoli}| {alveolus} that have moist mucus walls surrounded by capillaries, which allow gas diffusion into and out of blood. They have air that is higher in carbon dioxide, lower in oxygen, warmer, and more humid, than outside air. Elastic connective tissue surrounds alveoli to aid contraction.
