In the lungs are small air sacs called alveoli. These alveoli are covered with blood capillaries. Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide diffuse through the alveolar capillary membrane. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli to the blood capillary and carbon dioxide diffuses from the capillary to the alveoli and you breath it out of your body.

The exchange of gases inside the lungs actually occurs inside tiny sacs called?
The tiny sacs in our lungs are called 'alveoli' which is what makes gas exchange possible.
What provide the greatest surface area for gas exchange?
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs.
What are the structures responsible for exchange of gases in prawns?
Gills.
The site for exchange of gases in human beings is the?
alveoli
Exchange of gases between body and environment is called?
respiratory
Where in the lungs do you exchange gases?
In the lungs, exchange of gases occurs in the alveoli(sing: alveolus).
Does exchange of gases occurs in nasal cavity?
No, it occurs in the lungs.
Where does the acual exchange of gasoccur?
The actual exchange of gases occurs in the alveoli
What are the steps for the exchange of gases in the heart?
The heart is not where gases are exchanged. This occurs in the lungs.
How does the western diamondback rattlesnake exchange gases?
Rattlesnakes have lungs and gas exchange occurs there.
What blood vessels do the exchange of gases occur?
the blood vessel which allows gas exchange to occur is the capillaries
Exchange of gases and waste materials occurs by diffusion across the walls of the?
capillaries
What part of the respiratory tract is not exchange gases?
Gas exchanges occurs in the "alveoli".
Exchange of gases and nutrients occurs by diffusion between the?
capillaries and tissue cells
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].
Does gas exchange occurs by osmosis?
No. Osmosis refers to the movement of water only. Gases move by diffusion.
Where is the site where Gases are exchanged?
Alveoli are site of gas exchange. Actual diffusion of gases occurs at interstitial space between capillaries and alveolar cells.
