How does the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen take place in the lungs?
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in between the alveoli and capillaries. Oxygen moves through the cell membrane of the capillaries of the alveoli and then into the blood. Then oxygen is picked up by hemoglobin, and carried to all the body cells. At the same time, waste(carbon dioxide) leaves the body by exhaling --- @luvzbieber

How do the lungs of an African lungfish work?
The same way as other animals with "lungs". Air is taken into the body and gaseous exchange occurs with the red blood cells. The "lungs" of a lungfish are much simpler in structure than those of a mammal. They are just simple sacs, rather then the spongelike structures of mammal lungs. The general way they work is the same as a mammal's lungs, but they are not as efficient, having a smaller surface area.
