Where in the respiratory system are oxygen and carbon dioxide exchanged?

Blood releases carbon dioxide and acquires oxygen, in the lungs. The opposite exchange takes place throughout the body on a cellular level, as each cell consumes oxygen from the blood and releases carbon dioxide into the blood.

∙ 8y agoThe exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide in the respiratory system occurs in the lungs, specifically in the pulmonary alveoli or alveolar sacs. Oxygen brought into the lungs diffuses across the alveolar membrane into the nearby, thin-walled capillaries and enters the blood. In the opposite direction, carbon dioxide diffuses across the capillary and alveolar membranes and into the alveolar sacs, from which it is exhaled.
