The Carbon Dioxide is not absorbed into the blood it is only the oxygen. When you breathe in, the air travels down your windpipe, down the bronchi and then down the bronchis. On the end of the bronchioles, there are sacs called alveoli. These have a good blood supply surrounding them. The blood is absorbed through this small sac. The reason it can get through is that the walls of the alveoli are only one cell thick.
