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.

in the alveoli
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli in the respiratory system. The thin-walled structures allow diffusion of gases into and out of the capillaries.
The respiratory system is the anatomical system of an organism that introduces respiratory gases to the interior and performs gas exchange. In humans and other mammals, the anatomical features of the respiratory system include airways, lungs, and the respiratory muscles. Molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged, by diffusion, between the gaseous external environment and the blood.
Gas exchange does not occur in the respiratory tract, it occurs in the alveoli.
The gas occurs by simple diffusion through the cells.
in your respiratory system
Yes gas is transferred through the alveolar/capillary membrane in the alveolus. Gas moves from the alveolar air sacs to the pulmonary capillaries.
The respiratory system is the anatomical system of an organism that introduces respiratory gases to the interior and performs gas exchange. In humans and other mammals, the anatomical features of the respiratory system include airways, lungs, and the respiratory muscles. Molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged, by diffusion, between the gaseous external environment and the blood. This exchange process occurs in the alveolar region of the lungs.[1] Other animals, such as insects, have respiratory systems with very simple anatomical features, and in amphibians even the skin plays a vital role in gas exchange. Plantsalso have respiratory systems but the directionality of gas exchange can be opposite to that in animals. The respiratory system in plants also includes anatomical features such as holes on the undersides of leaves known as stomata.[2]
the respiratory system brings oxygen to the blood and removes the waste gas carbon dioxide
The Respiratory System regulates breathing and gas exchanges within an organism. In humans, this system includes the lungs, airways, and respiratory muscles.
