gas exchange occurs between pulmonary capillaries and the alveoli in the lungs.
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs. The alveoli are small air sacs where oxygen from the air we breathe diffuses into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out of the bloodstream into the air to be exhaled.
The capillary is known as the functional unit of the cardiovascular system. Capillaries are small blood vessels where gas exchange and nutrient exchange occur between the blood and tissues. This exchange is essential for delivering oxygen and nutrients to cells and removing waste products.
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs, where oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide diffuses out. Nutrient exchange occurs in the small intestine, where nutrients from digested food are absorbed into the bloodstream to be transported to cells throughout the body.
Alveolus is a single structure in the lungs where gas exchange occurs, while alveolar sac is a cluster of alveoli where multiple gas exchange processes happen simultaneously. Alveolar sacs are made up of multiple alveoli grouped together.
Gas exchange between oxygen and carbon dioxide takes place in small sacs called alveoli, which are located at the end of the respiratory bronchioles in the lungs. This is where oxygen from the air is transferred into the bloodstream and carbon dioxide is removed from the blood.
The alveoli at the end of bronchioles allow gas exchange to occur.
The gas occurs by simple diffusion through the cells.

Gas exchange does not occur in the pleura. The pleura is a membrane that lines the outside of the lungs and inside of the chest cavity. Gas exchange, where oxygen is taken in and carbon dioxide is removed, happens in the alveoli of the lungs.
