Gas exchange occurs in the capillaries which are the smallest blood vessels in the body. Each artery that comes from the heart is surrounded by capillaries so that they can take it to the various parts of the body. This is why whenever we get a paper cut and we bleed this blood is from the capillaries which branch off in to smaller veins and arteries and then eventually into capillaries.
