Within the circulatory system gas exchange happens at two places. First within the lungs where it picks up oxygen and gives up its carbon dioxide. Secondly, within the capillary beds of the tissues to deliver the oxygen (and nutrients) and pick up the carbon dioxide to bring back to the lungs.

What is a single loop circulatory system?
It's the simpler that exist in vertebrates that has gills as the site of gas exchange, wile other organism have a double loop circulatory system that have lungs instead of gills.
Where does gas exchange happen other than the lungs?
Usually in the body, it is only in the lungs or the respiratory system and nothing else.
Why is the circulatory system considered the transportation system?
The circulatory acts as a transportation system because the hemoglobin on red blood cells transports the gas carbon dioxide back to the heart and lungs for exchange, then picks up oxygen to transport it back to the cells. Fluid waste is carried in part by blood to the kidneys. Also white blood cells and macrophages zoom to areas of infection to clear the body of germs.
How systems in your body can be compared to mechanical or systems in a city's society?
The circulatory system is like the gas/water company, supplying energy sources to all of your cells.
In which structure does gas exchange occur?
gas exchange occurs between pulmonary capillaries and the alveoli in the lungs.
How does the gas exchange system and the circulatory system work together?
it occurs through the heart
Where does the exchange of gas and waste product take place in the circulatory system?
In the lungs.
What is the name of the gas exchange in the circulatory system called?
Respiration.
Where in the body does the respiratory system connect to the circulatory system?
The respiratory and circulatory system connect in the lungs. At the alveoli, the air sacs are wrapped closely by capillaries to facilitate gas exchange.
Is the respiratory system part of the circulatory system?
No both of them are different but they meet each other in lungs where,exchange of gas takes place.
What is a single loop circulatory system?
It's the simpler that exist in vertebrates that has gills as the site of gas exchange, wile other organism have a double loop circulatory system that have lungs instead of gills.
What two organ systems are involved in gas exchange?
The respiratory system and the circulatory system
What structure makes it possible for oxygen to enter the circulatory system?
The alveoli at the end of bronchioles allow gas exchange to occur.
How do two capillary networks function in the fish circulatory system?
provides a large surface area for exchange in oxygen and gas?
Do humans have open or closed circulatory system's?
they have a closed circulatory sytsem:]yur welcome..... Sorry, this answer is very incorrect. A closed circulatory system means that the blood is contained within blood vessels, which the heart is able to pump/move through the tissues for very efficient gas exchange. Sponges DO NOT have this. In fact sponges do not even technically have a circulatory system at all, gas exchange is achieved by diffusion from the outer cells. So this means that sponges do not have an open or a closed circulatory system, because they don't have one at all.
What two body organ systems are involved in gas exchange?
Amphibians use their lungs, and use their thin skin when its moist.
What is the name of the organs responsible for the process of gas exchange?
The respiratory system functions in gas exchange. In doing so, it works closely with the circulatory system, and is aided by the nervous, muscular and skeletal systems.
