Both oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse from body tissues into the blood.

Co2
Nitrogen
Co2
In the alveoli of the lungs. This is where oxygen diffuses from the lungs into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the bloodstream and into the lungs.
o2 diffuses into blood from alveoli of lungs through the respiratory membran.
Oxygen diffuses from any place there is a lot of it to any place where there is less. In the body, it diffuses from the air in the alveoli of the lungs, through the lung and capillary walls and into the blood, where it is taken up by the haemoglobin of the red blood cells. When the bood reaches the body tissues it diffuses out of the blood and into the cells.
Both oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse from body tissues into the blood.
Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lungs and in the capillaries. The direct process of gas exchange occurs in alveoli located within the lungs. Blood is sent from the heart through pulmonary arteries, exchanging the carbon dioxide within erythrocytes (red blood cells) for oxygen provided by the air lungs store when inhaling. In the capillaries, oxygen diffuses through the capillary walls into the tissues, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the tissues into the capillaries.
Blood releases its oxygen into the tissues at the capillary level.
Water diffuses from the kidney back into the blood stream.
Nitrogen
They can control gas exchange in the tissues. When they are constricted, there is almost complete no gas exchange. The blood just bypasses the tissues.
Red blood cells release their oxygen in the capillaries. The oxygen diffuses across the capillary wall to reach the body tissues.
