Pores of Kohn are small communications
between adjacent pulmonary alveoli and provide
a collateral pathway for aeration. They are poorly
formed in children and along with poorly formed
canals of Lambert, are thought to be responsible
for the frequency of round pneumonia in that age
group.
The blood–air barrier exists in the gas
exchanging region of the lungs. It is formed by the
type I pneumocytes of the alveolar wall, the
endothelial cells of the capillaries and the
basement membrane between the two cells. It
exists to prevent air bubbles from forming in the
blood, and from blood entering the alveoli.
Failure of the barrier may occur in a pulmonary
barotrauma.

• Respiration involves the following 5 steps:
Transport of Gases
Transport of O2 Transport of CO2
