Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lungs and in the capillaries. The direct process of gas exchange occurs in alveoli located within the lungs. Blood is sent from the heart through pulmonary arteries, exchanging the carbon dioxide within erythrocytes (red blood cells) for oxygen provided by the air lungs store when inhaling.
In the capillaries, oxygen diffuses through the capillary walls into the tissues, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the tissues into the capillaries.

Why does the blood that flows to the fish's heart lack oxygen?
It's because a process called gas exchange has taken place in the fish's body. Oxygenated blood is pumped throughout the body, and the cells in the body take out oxygen and put in carbon dioxide (gas exchange). The blood returning to the heart of the fish is deoxygenated, and it will have to eventually go to the gills. There, the carbon dioxide (CO2) will get dumped into the water and oxygen (O2) will be picked up from the water at the same time in another gas exchange.
