The gas exchange between the blood and the somatic cells (body cells) takes place in the capillaries of the circulatory system.
Oxygen rich blood leaves the heart through the large arteries, moving into the arterioles, smaller vessels carrying oxygen rich blood, on to the capillaries. Capillaries are tiny vessels which have porosity in their walls, through which gasses and nutrients may exchange. The capillary beds, when looking at a diagram of the circulatory system, the blood vessels turn from red to blue signifying oxygen rich (red) to oxygen poor blood.
The blood then begins its journey back to the pulmonary artery and heart, through the venules and veins.

In which vessels are materials exchanged between the blood and the body cells?
Those tiny and beautiful blood vessels are called as capillaries. You have millions of them in your body. The nutrition and oxygen is given out, at the proximal end. The metabolic wastes and carbon bi oxide in taken in, at the distal end.
What is The process by which dissolved gases are exchanged between the cells and interstitial fluids is?
Internal Respiration."Internal respiration is the diffusion of gases between blood and interstitial fluid across the endothelial cells of capillary walls."Says my Anatomy Book.
Where are carbon dioxide and blood in the body?
CO2 exchanged to blood through capillaries and blood to alveoli
The gas exchange between the blood and the cells of the body is an example of?
Diffusion
What blood cells does the body contain the most of?
Red blood cells are far and away the most numerous blood cells in the body.
What are exchanged between the body cells and the blood plasma?
There are many substances they exchange, but the main ones are oxygen from the blood to the cells and CO2 from the cells to the blood.
What is the process in which materials are exchanged between blood and body cells?
Diffusion
What is the process by which the materials are exchanged between the blood and the body cells?
Diffusion
What is the process by which materials exchanged between the blood and the body cells?
Diffusion
One process in which materials are exchanged between the blood and the body cells is?
Nutrients are exchanged between the blood and body cell in the capillaries.
In which vessels are materials exchanged the blood and the body cells?
capillaries
The vessels that permit exchange of materials between the cells and the blood are termed?
Capillary: A tiny blood vessel where substances are exchanged between the blood and the body cells.
One process by which materials are exchanged between the blood and the blood cell is?
Diffusion
Why are capillaries found near every cell in the body?
Substances exchanged through diffusion between blood and cells.So capillaries should be near to cells.
What happens to the blood when it reaches the lungs?
The blood is oxygenated that is oxygen which has been inhaled is added to the blood and the blood then transports it to other body parts.
In which vessels are materials exchanged between the blood and the body cells?
Those tiny and beautiful blood vessels are called as capillaries. You have millions of them in your body. The nutrition and oxygen is given out, at the proximal end. The metabolic wastes and carbon bi oxide in taken in, at the distal end.
What is the process when materials are exchanged between the blood and the body's cells called?
diffusion is when the materials go through the cell membrane between the capillaries (because capillaries are only one cell thick)
