Respiration is the process of gaseous exchange by: External breathing, the oxygen is taken up by the capillaries of the lung alveoli
(air sacs) and expelled as carbon dioxide which is released from the blood. Internal, the stage of respiration in which oxygen is released to the tissues and carbon dioxide absorbed by the blood.

Where does gaseous exchange in human take place?
Gaseous exchange in humans takes place in the alveoli of the lungs. Oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli, while carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled.
What is 'gaseous exchange'?
Gaseous exchange is the movement of oxygen in the body, it takes place in the lungs through diffusion by the alveolar surface. There are millions of alveloi in the lungs, which gives it around 70m2 of exchange surface.
What is meant by the term gaseous exchange and why is it so important in your body?
The term gaseous exchange is the movement of oxygen into the body. Your body needs a constant supply of oxygen for cellular resporation.
Where does the exchange of gasses in the body takes place?
generally in the lungs and the alveli
In which blood vessels does oxygen exchange take place?
Oxygen exchange takes place in the capillaries, which are the smallest blood vessels in the body.
Where in the body apart from the lungs does gaseous exchange occurs?
Gaseous exchange occurs through capillaries all over the body to bring oxygen to cells and remove carbon dioxide.
Where are gases exchanged in the heart?
As with most organs in the human body, gaseous exchange in the heart takes place via the capillaries, tiny blood vessels that release oxygen from the lungs into body tissue and receive carbon dioxide to transport back to the lungs.
How does the exchange of different gases takes place in the human body?
through respiration
During respiration the exchange of gases takes place through the walls of the what?
During respiration the exchange of gases takes place through the walls of the alveoli. From there, the oxygen is taken by the blood to the body tissues.
Which part of heart allows for the exchange of nutrients and oxygen?
The exchange of nutrients and oxygen does not take place in the heart. The exchange of oxygen takes place in the alveoli of the lungs and the exchange of nutrients takes place at numerous sites around the body, but the most predominant is the duodenum and ileum of the small intestine.
Exchange of nutrients and wastes with the body cells takes place by diffusion through the walls of?
artria
What does the pulmonary capillary do?
The blood cells carry carbon dioxide to the lungs which, through the mechanism of breathing, gaseous exchange takes place with the carbon dioxide leaving the body while someone breathes out. When they breathe in again, the blood cells in the pulmonary capillaries get loaded with oxygen and the new oxygen rich blood goes to the heart to be sent around the body.
