O2 and CO2
Alveoli are site of gas exchange. Actual diffusion of gases occurs at interstitial space between capillaries and alveolar cells.
The pulmonary circulation works closely with the respiratory system at the alveoli. There, capillaries are in close proximity to the air sacs, and gases are exchanged at this point.
Earthworms have no special respiratory organs. Gases are exchanged through the moist skin and capillaries.
In the systemic circuit gas is exchanged in the capillaries. Oxygen goes to the body tissue while the Carbon Dioxide produced from respiration is taken by the blood to go to the lungs and be breathed out.

The gases that are exchanged are oxygen and carbon dioxide.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged by way of the circulatory system. Cells use oxygen for energy and produce carbon dioxide as a waste. Capillaries are where this exchange occurs. Veins carry this product back to the heart. This blood goes to the lungs were you blow off the carbon dioxide and take in oxygen. So the circulatory system and lungs work together to exchange gases.

Capillaries.
The respiratory and circulatory systems are involved in the exchange of gases between the alveoli and blood. The alveoli are part of the lungs, and their surrounding capillaries are part of the circulatory system.
The gases that are exchanged are oxygen and carbon dioxide.
