gas exchange takes place in the lungs, and at the cellular level.
In the lungs, carbon dioxide and other "waste" gasses are released from the blood to be exhaled, and oxygen is absorbed into the blood.
At the cellular level, oxygen is released from the blood into a cell, and carbon dioxide and other "waste" gasses are passed into the blood.

What is the adaptive value of having the organ of gas exchange inside the body?
The adaptive value of having the organ of gas exchange inside the body is increased effectiveness. It allows for more rapid movement of air across the lungs.
In what vessels does gas exchange occur?
Gas exchange occurs in the capillaries which are the smallest blood vessels in the body. Each artery that comes from the heart is surrounded by capillaries so that they can take it to the various parts of the body. This is why whenever we get a paper cut and we bleed this blood is from the capillaries which branch off in to smaller veins and arteries and then eventually into capillaries.
Where does the actual air exchange take place in the lungs?
The actual air exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lungs
How is surface area important to gas exchange?
Gas exchange is important as it is the transfer of oxygen from the surroundings to individual cells in the body, required by the cells for respiration. This process produces energy, essential for the organisms survival. A waste product of respiration is carbon dioxide, which if not removed from the body by gas exchange, will be harmful.
Where does gas exchange happen other than the lungs?
Usually in the body, it is only in the lungs or the respiratory system and nothing else.
Where does Gas exchange take place in the hydra?
It is simpie diffusion through body surface
What is the exchange of gas in body called?
Respiration
What vessels is responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells?
The capillaries are responsible for gas and nutrient exchange with each of the body's cells.
Where does the exchanged of gases in the body take place?
Gas exchange between the body and the environment occurs in the lungs.
Which blood vessels in the lungs help your body take in and give out gases?
Gas exchange happens in the bed of CAPILLARIES in the lungs.
Where is oxygen gas exchange found in the body?
lunges
How does the gas exchange take place in flatworms?
worms carry out gas exchange by absorbing air through their skin
Which are the areas of gas exchange?
the alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries in the body
What is the body system that has a major role in gas exchange?
respiratory
The exchange between alveoli and capillaries allows what?
gas exchange to take place/to allow cells to lose CO2 and gain O2 so they will be oxygenated and ready to be pumped around your body.
Why does gas exchange need to take place more rapidly during exercise?
More exercise means the body needs more oxygen, hence the need for a quickening of gas exchange, Otherwise, dizziness and shortage of breath could result.
The gas exchange between the blood and the cells of the body is an example of?
Diffusion
