Carbon dioxide is exhaled
Carbon dioxide is produced as a waste product of respiration, and is taken in the bloodstream to the capillaries outside the lungs, where the CO2 diffuses into the alveoli of the lungs.
oxygen
In the alveoli of the lungs, where it passes into the blood capillaries which surround them.
The alveoli and capillaries in the lungs pass oxygen to the blood. Both have very thin walls, which allow the oxygen to pass from the alveoli to the blood. The capillaries then connect to larger blood vessels, called veins, which bring the oxygenated blood from the lungs to the heart.
The blood passes through tiny capillaries that lie in close proximity to the alveoli in the lungs. This is where the gas exchange takes place.
blood, at first it is deoxygenated but by the time it leaves the lungs it is full of dissolved oxygen
The capillaries absorb oxygen at the lungs. This occurs near the alveoli.
Oxygen passes from the air sacs in the lungs to the blood in the capillaries, carbon dioxide passes the other way.
Oxygen passes into the capillaries that surround the alveoli. The thin walls of the capillaries make this diffusion easier.
greater concentration of oxygen in the air sacs of the lungs than in the capillaries.
Oxygen
The lungs contain air sacs called alveoli which are surrounded by blood capillaries to allow gaseous exchange.
