In the alveoli, oxygen diffuses into the blood that the capillaries carry due to a concentration gradient that exists there as oxygen conc is higher in the alveolar sacs than in the blood capillaries.
Similarly carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood capillaries into the alveolar sacs down the concentration gradient.
The constant flow of blood is there to ensure this concentration gradient is established at all times.

What is the exchange of gases between the lungs and the blood called?
The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called restoration. Organisms that function with the help of respiration are human beings, other mammals, birds, and reptiles. Anything that breathes in oxygen and breathes out carbon dioxide is completing respiration.
Which gases are involve in photosynthesis?
There is only one gas. It is the CO2 gas.
What gas may be required for photosynthesis?
photosynthesis :)
How oxygen and carbon dioxide are carried by the blood?
Mostly nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide.
What of these is a waste product of cells blood water oxygen or carbon dioxide?
Carbon dioxide and water
What two gases diffuse into or out of cells?
Oxygen and Carbon dioxide
How does Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse in and out of a leaf through the?
leaves have pores on there underside that allow carbon dioxide in and let oxygen out
What gas diffuses from the tissues to the blood?
Both oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse from body tissues into the blood.
What are the specialized pores that carbon dioxide and oxygen diffuse in and out of?
your mouth and your nose
What gas diffuse from the tissues to the blood?
Both oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse from body tissues into the blood.
How do you resive oxygen and remove carbon dioxide?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are moved to and from body tissues via the circulatory system. These materials diffuse through the cell membrane, and then diffuse through the capillary wall into or out of the bloodstream.
What causes oxygen to enter and carbon dioxide to leave the capillaries?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide get into and out of cells via diffusion. The gases diffuse across the thin capillary wall, and then diffuse across the cell membrane.
What are the two things that diffuse from body cells to capillaries?
Oxygen and carbon dioxide
Does carbon dioxide diffuse from the capillaries to the alveoli?
yes while oxygen then diffuses into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses out. it's a chain
Oxygen diffuse into the blood at the alveoli?
Carbon dioxide does.
What determines in which direction carbon dioxide and oxygen will diffuse in the lungs?
pressure difference between carbon dioxide and oxygen level between pulmonary artery and alveolar space
What are the air sacs in the lungs through which oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse into the blood?
AVEVOLIS
