There are little sacs called Alveoli in the lungs. In these sacs are where gasses are exchanged. Oxygen molecules attach themselves, from the air we breathed in, to the red blood cells, while carbon dioxide molecules unattach themselves from red blood cells and are carried away in the air we exhale.
