Does gas exchange occur in the arteries or veins why or why not?
Gas exchange primarily occurs in the capillaries, not in arteries or veins. Arteries carry oxygen-rich blood away from the heart to tissues, while veins return oxygen-poor blood back to the heart. The capillaries, which are small blood vessels that connect arteries and veins, facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the blood and surrounding tissues. Therefore, gas exchange does not take place directly in arteries or veins.
