The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide happens in between the alveoli and then through the walls of the capillaries and then into the blood. The oxygen is then picked up by hemoglobin in the red blood cells and sent to all body cells. While this is happening the carbon dioxide is transported back from the body cells and into the blood. It diffuses through the walls of the capillaries and into the walls of the alveoli. Carbon dioxide leaves your body whenever you breathe out.
The alveoli sacks have many capillaries and the exchange occurs. O2 from the lungs hits the blood and CO2 is just given off.
carbon dioxide
During photosynthesis, carbon dioxide and oxygen are exchanged. The plant uses the carbon dioxide for the photosynthesis and expels oxygen.
Mostly oxygen & carbon dioxide - but also some nitrogen.
Oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water are the substances exchanged between the alveoli (air sacs) and the capillaries in the lungs.
oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged in alveoli (singular alveolus).
The humorus
CO2 exchanged to blood through capillaries and blood to alveoli
Capillaries are tiny thin-walled blood vessels that connect the smallest arteries and veins and allow the exchange of nutrients and waste between the blood and tissues. Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged between the circulatory and respiratory systems; oxygen diffuses from the lungs into the bloodstream and is transported by erythrocytes (red blood cells) throughout the body. Carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood into the alveoli and goes the reverse direction through the respiratory system and out the nose.
In the alveoli
The tiny air sacs of the lungs were oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged are the alveoli.
diffusion
When you inhale, air fills the alveoli and oxygen passes from the alveoli through a semipermeable membrane and into the capillaries, leading into the bloodstream. During the same process, carbon dioxide is outgassed from the blood to the alveoli When you inhale, air fills the alveoli and oxygen passes from the alveoli through a semipermeable membrane and into the capillaries, leading into the bloodstream.

diffusion
The alveoli are the hollow spheres of cells within the lungs where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged. They are thin-walled, and closely associated with the thin-walled capillaries that surround them. Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse across these thin walls to move from the blood to the lungs.
