Rattlesnakes have lungs and gas exchange occurs there.
Where does the exchange of gases between blood air occur?
Simply put, the gas exchange occurs in the lungs. More specifically, the blood exchange occurs at the avoli, the "air sacs" in the lungs where the surrounding capillaries can be oxygenated.
Where do red blood cells exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen?
There is exchange of CO2 and O2 in the lungs of aerobic vertebrates. The process is generally referred to as gas exchange. It depends on what organism you're talking about. It could be the skin, gills, lungs, or any other structure. In the lungs is the Alveoli.

alveolus
Where does the exchanged of gases in the body take place?

What structure is responsible for gas exchange in most spiders?

Where does the exchange of gasses occur?
The exchange of gases occurs at the ends of the airways in the lungs. Here tiny sacs called alveoli connect with tiny blood vessels and here exhaust gas [carbon dioxide] is exchanged for fresh gas [oxygen].
Which part of the human respiratory system is a moist membranous structure where gas exchange occurs?
alveolus (tiny air sacs arranged in clusters in the lungs, in which the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place.)
Where does the actual air exchange take place in the lungs?
The actual air exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lungs
Where in the lungs does gas exchange?
Gas exchange occurs across the respiratory membrane of the alveoli; however, the short answer is simply alveoli
What provide the greatest surface area for gas exchange?
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs.
