'alveolar' is a correct and usable word in written English.
It is an adjective that refers to a part of the mouth near the upper and lower teeth. For example, "The alveolar ridge is the upper part of the jaw near the teeth."
In humans the first organism produces cystic, slowly expanding lesions principally involving the liver and lungs; the second organism produces an alveolar (pitted) type of lesion that progresses rapidly, may occasionally form lesions in the brain and bones, and is invariably fatal.
The low oxygen partial pressure in the lung is associated with thickening of the small blood vessels in pulmonary alveolar walls and a slight increase in pulmonary blood pressure, thought to enhance oxygen perfusion of the lung apices.
Diffusion of oxygen across the alveolar walls into the blood is facilitated, and in some experimental animal studies the alveolar walls are thinner at altitude than at sea level.
Under ideal circumstances, partial pressures of oxygen and carbon dioxide in alveolar gas and arterial blood are identical.
As well as being attached to adjacent alveolar bone, gum is connected to the cement of each tooth and to the tooth enamel.
It should be clear from the discussion above, for example, that the interpretation of *d as a voiced dental or alveolar stop is more certain than the interpretation of *k as a voiceless velar stop.
More seriously, the escaped alveolar gas may be carried by the blood circulation to the brain (arterial gas embolism).
The results give the palato-alveolar sounds of /sh/ and /zh/ (written in the International Phonetic Alphabet as /ʃ/ and /Ʒ/, respectively), via /tʃ/ (as in English church), and /dƷ/ (as in English jam); e.g., French chanter 'to sing' developed from Latin cantare, joie 'joy' from gaudia.
The differences in the two circumstances have been thought to result from the nature of the environment-alveolar interface, that interface being liquid liquid in the fluid-filled lung and gas liquid in the air-filled lung.
The extra-alveolar gas may cause a "burst lung" (pneumothorax) or the tracking of gas into the tissues of the chest (mediastinal emphysema), possibly extending into the pericardium or into the neck.
One noticeable difference between Latin and all the Romance languages is that the consonantal systems of the latter include a number of palatal and palato-alveolar consonants which did not exist in Latin.
