Where in the lungs does gas exchange take place?

In the alveoli (also called air sac) is the capillary-rich sac in the lungs where the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place by diffusion. The oxygen poor blood goes from the right ventricle and into the lungs where the co2 is traded for Oxygen in the alveoli and back through the heart and out to the body.

What are the small air sacs in the lungs?

These small sac like structure are known as the alveoli . The alveoli help in the exchange of the gases, oxygen & carbon-dioxide,Lungs contain alveoli to increase the surface area and to easily transport oxygen to the blood vessels which surrounds the air sacs. Also, the air sacs have a thin film of oxygen which helps to absorb oxygen quickly.
