In mammals the lungs transfer oxygen from the air into the mammal's blood. The air flows down through a network of bronchial tubes that divide the airflow into smaller and smaller streams. Finally these streams enter the Avioli, which are small sacs with coated in capillaries (blood vessels who's walls are only one or two cells thick). Then the oxygen passes through the capillaries' membrane and into the blood where it is absorbed by the Hemoglobin in the red blood cells.
Also, through the reverse process carbon dioxide is expelled from the blood.
