What are the thin-walled vessels of the circulatory system where most oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged?

No, all gas exchange is done through capillaries. Both veins and arteries are too thick and contain muscle layers that prevent gas exchange. However, capillaries are small enough (blood cells can only pass through one at a time) that oxygen can pass to the tissues and carbon dioxide can pass to the RBCs.
