There is not really a tissue for breathing at all, more like an organ called the lungs. In the lungs, oxygen goes through the bronchial tubes into the alveoli In the alveoli the oxygen atoms are diffused into the blood stream and transported throughout the body by red blood cells. The same thing happens when you exhale, carbon dioxide is exchanged in the alveoli for oxygen, and the carbon dioxide exits the body, all in a matter of seconds.
