Where are the pulmonary capillaries found within lung?

Pulmonary capillaries form an intricate network within the walls of the alveoli in the lungs. The alveolar walls are composed of a single layer of epithelial cells and a rich network of capillaries that lie in close proximity. This close proximity facilitates the efficient exchange of gases between the air in the alveoli and the blood in the capillaries.
