We find that carbon dioxide is removed from the body via what is called gas exchange in the lungs. When we inhale, air is drawn into the lungs, and the alveoli in the lungs are the sites where gas exchange takes place. Carbon dioxide exits the blood, and oxygen enters. When we exhale, the carbon dioxide is carried out of the body, and the process is repeated with another breath.

after absorbing the oxygen, the blood collects the co2 from the tissues in the lungs from where it is breathed out.

Carbon dioxide is removed from cells in your body by blood carring it to the lungs where you "blow" it off.
