If I'm not wrong, the O2 is carried from your lungs by red blood cells, then is passed to the muscles which need it through the walls of the blood vessels, while they take CO2 from the muscles to bring it back to the lungs to expel.
So... it occurs through the bloodstream and the walls of the blood vessels (capillary vessels etc.)

More specifically in pulmonary capillaries.
Pulmonary capillaries lie next to the alveoli membranes. CO2 diffuses from the blood within the pulmonary capillaries and enter the alveolar space while O2 from alveoli diffuses into the blood.

The diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide?
The respiratory system uses the diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. You inhale the oxygen which goes through the alveoli and thew capillaries in the lungs and you exhale it through the same section you inhale from. Therefore they diffuse together.
Is Oxygen diffusion rate affected by the pressure gradient of carbon dioxide?
No According to my utas quiz :)
Many small aquatic organisms move oxygen and carbon dioxide through their skin by the process of?
Diffusion
When a carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is the?
Carbon dioxide is the product; oxygen and carbon are the reactants.
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide carbon dioxide is?
When carbon reacts with oxygen to form carbon dioxide, carbon dioxide is the product of the reaction.
Diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide into and out of the blood occurs in the?
Little sacs called alvioli-- in the lungs.
Where Oxygen and carbon dioxide is exchanged at a cellular level by a process called what?
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs through the mechanism of diffusion. The gases diffuse across the thin walls of the capillaries, both in the body tissues and in the capillaries surround the alveoli in the lungs.
What do capillaries exchange?
Capillaries exchange food, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
What is the process by which oxygen and carbon dioxide move across the alveoli?
It is the process of simple diffusion. The movement of oxygen from a high level (in the air) to a lower level (in the blood). The opposite occurs for carbon dioxide which is higher in the blood but lower in the air.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in lungs and through all cell membranes by?
Gas exchanges occur by simple diffusion through the respiratory membrane -- oxygen passing from the alveolar air into the capillary blood and carbon dioxide leaving the blood to enter the gas-filled aveoli.
Does the exchange of carbon dioxide depend on the concentration of oxygen in the alveoli and the blood?
No. It depends on the concentration of carbon dioxide in the alveoli and the blood. The concentration of carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli is higher than the concentration of carbon dioxide in the air, so carbon dioxide in the capillaries of the alveoli diffuses out of the capillaries into the alveoli of the lungs and is exhaled.
What gases move into or out of our bodies by diffusion?
oxygen and carbon dioxide
Where does the oxygen and carbon dioxide go after diffusion?
Oxygen (O2) goes to ur blood and carbon dioxide (CO2) goes back to the atmosphere.
What is diffusion of carbon dioxide out of the blood stream?
That is a natural physiological process that occurs in the lungs. It is usually referred to as gas exchange, where the blood is enriched with oxygen as it looses most of its load of carbon dioxide.
What are 2 gasses that move in and out of body by diffusion?
oxygen and carbon dioxide
When breathing what is operating in your lungs to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen?
diffusion
When breathing is operating in your lungs to exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen.?
