Where in the lungs does breathed in oxygen swap with carbon dioxide and water in the blood?

You have it backwards. In the tissues, the hemoglobin in the red blood cells pick up carbon dioxide (CO2) and releases oxygen (O2) to the cells of the tissues. It is then carried to the lungs where the opposite occurs: oxygen (O2) is picked up from the air and carbon dioxide (CO2 ) is released into the air and you expel it.

Do the lungs take carbon dioxide from the blood?
No. Your lungs pass oxygen into the blood and also pass carbon dioxide to the air outside your body. Oxygen combines with carbon to form carbon dioxide. This happens in our muscles, among other places.
What important thing does your blood carries to your lungs so you can breathe it out?
Your blood carries carbon dioxide to your lungs to be breathed out. The oxygen in your lungs transfers into your blood at the same time, keeping oxygen moving to your tissues and carbon dioxide waste moving away.
Which gas passes out the blood into the aveoli?
Carbon dioxide leaves the blood and goes into the alveoli where it can then be breathed out of the body. It is also at this point that oxygen passes into the blood to be carried to where it is required for respiration - carbon dioxide being a by-product of respiration.
What purpose does the red blood cells do for the body?
they carry oxygen in the haemoglobin to muscles and take carbon dioxide back to the lungs to be breathed out =)
What Blood which contains carbon dioxide and lack oxygen?
Venous blood is loaded with carbon dioxide and low in oxygen Arterial blood is rich in oxygen with little carbon dioxide
What type of blood has low oxygen and high carbon dioxide?
Deoxygenated blood is low in oxygen and high in carbon dioxide.
Do lions breath in carbon dioxide?
As there is a low level of carbon dioxide in the air that animals (and people) breath, yes every breath taken in breaths in some carbon dioxide.But as carbon dioxide in the blood is transferred to the air in the lungs, increasing the level of carbon dioxide in that air, when they breath out both the carbon dioxide breathed in and the additional carbon dioxide from the blood are breathed out. Thus in balance more carbon dioxide is breathed out than is breathed in.
What do your lung take out of your blood?
The lung takes carbon dioxide out of your blood and replaces it with oxygen.
List the mechanisms for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood?
The mechanisms for transporting oxygen and carbon dioxide in the blood are the lungs. The blood vessels are also needed for transporting oxygen and dispelling carbon dioxide.
How do you make carbon dioxside?
part 1 Breath out. When you breathe in, you take in oxygen. The oxygen is transfered from the lungs to the alveoli, which then transfers it into the bloodstream. The blood cells that have no oxygen, take the oxygen and deliver it to parts of the body that need it. The carbon dioxide is then breathed out of your body. part 2 The atoms used to make carbon dioxide are two carbon atoms and one oxygen atom.(hence the name CARBON dioxide, and CO2.)
How oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood?
Mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
What parts of the hearte is the blood rich in oxygen or carbon dioxide?
What parts of the hearts is the blood rich in oxygen or carbon dioxide
