Alveoli
The aveoli are small sacks in the lungs. A membrane that lines these sacks allows oxygen to move to the blood and carbon dioxide to move from the blood.
Alveoli are particular to the lungs of mammals. Different structures are involved in gas exchange in other vertebrates.
Air travels down the trachea, through thr bronchioles towards the terminal end of the respiratory tract, the alveoli. It is In the pulmonary alveolus that gas exchange with the surrounding capillary beds occurs. It is worth noting that alveoli are solely mammalian structures, so resporatory gas exchange occurs differently in other vertebrates and invertebrates.

What else can I help you with?
Where in the respiratory system does gas exhcange occur?
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli in the respiratory system. The thin-walled structures allow diffusion of gases into and out of the capillaries.
Where in the respiratory tract does gas exchange occur?
The gas occurs by simple diffusion through the cells.
Where does gas exchange occur in the human respiratory system?
Gas exchange does not occur in the respiratory tract, it occurs in the alveoli.
What is a primary function of a respiratory system?
Gas exchange
What is the elastic unit of the respiratory system where gas exchange occurs?
Alveoli is where gas exchange occurs.
What is the body system that has a major role in gas exchange?
respiratory
Where in the respiratory system does gas change occur?
in the alveoli
What is the name of the organs responsible for the process of gas exchange?
The respiratory system functions in gas exchange. In doing so, it works closely with the circulatory system, and is aided by the nervous, muscular and skeletal systems.
Does the gas exchange function of the respiratory system occur in the alveoli?
Yes gas is transferred through the alveolar/capillary membrane in the alveolus. Gas moves from the alveolar air sacs to the pulmonary capillaries.
How does the respiratory system move air to and from gas exchange surfaces?
diffusion
What is the primary gas exchange site in the respiratory system?
alveoli
What body system works with the respiratory system during gas exchange in the cells?
Cardiovascular
