		1 is a front elevational view of the mouth gag embodying the invention showing the alveolus retractors in a substantially normal fully extended symmetrical position and the tongue retractor positioned midway between the upper jaw engaging members of the alveolus retractors and the base support.
		Alveolus retractors 30, except for being mirror images of each other, are structurally indentical so that a description of either side applies to the other and corresponding parts are given the same reference numerals.
		Alveolus retractor 30 is seen to comprise a tubular post 35, an arcuate bar 31 extending from the upper end of post 35, and an upper jaw engaging member 32, which is mounted for limited sliding movement on bar 31 between projecting screw heads 31a serving as stops therefor.

	Howstuffworks "Is it harmful to breathe 100-percent oxygen?"
		Surrounding each alveolus are small, thin-walled blood vessels lined with a single layer of epithelial cells called pulmonary capillaries (pulmonary because they are found in the lung).
		Between the capillaries and the alveolus is a thin wall (about 0.5 microns thick) through which various gases (oxygen, carbon dioxide, nitrogen) can exchange between the air space of the alveolus and the blood in the capillary.
		Because the oxygen concentration is high in the air and low in the blood entering the pulmonary capillary, oxygen flows or diffuses from the air into the blood.

	Dental implant and method of inserting - Patent 4220712
		Between the spheric head pin and the alveolus an elastic covering is provided and is capable of being deformed in order to allow springing and slight oscillations of the spheric head pin with respect to the alveolus.
		On the basis of the foregoing experience, according to the present invention, an apparatus was designed that includes an artificial spheric alveolus for a pin supporting the tooth or prosthesis, with the object of protecting the jaw bone and the gum where the dental implants is in communication with the oral cavity.
		Thus, the alveolus 3 will be provided in the central and lower part of the lower portion 2 with a spheric projection that will act as an intermediate support in order to reduce the unit load acting on the bore.

		Oxygen is inhaled and absorbed into the bloodstream through the thin walls of each alveolus, by way of the pulmonary veins.
		The enormous surface area of the alveoli and the short diffusion distance between alveolar air and capillary blood quickly allows the blood to achieve an equilibrium with gases of the alveolar air.
		This function is further increased by the fact that each alveolus is surrounded by a capillary network so extensive that it forms an almost continuous sheet of blood around each alveolus.
