They all enter the lung ... but the only one that quickly enters the blood is oxygen. Because oxygen is the one gas that has a higher partial pressure in "lung air" than its partial pressure in the "lung blood". Note that the blood's CO2 pressure is higher than the air in the lungs, so CO2 comes out of the blood into the lung's air.

What does it mean to exchange gases?

A gas exchange is the diffusion of gases from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration. An example of this is when humans breath. Oxygen enters the body by means of the airway and replaces the carbon dioxide. The carbon dioxide exits the body and replaces the oxygen on the outside of the body.

How does the composition gases changes as you travel in earths atmosphere?

As you travel higher in Earth's atmosphere, the composition of gases changes in terms of their concentration. Oxygen, nitrogen, and argon are the most abundant gases in the lower atmosphere, while the percentage of oxygen decreases and other gases like helium and hydrogen become more prevalent in the upper atmosphere. The overall pressure also decreases with altitude, causing the air to become less dense.


Which gases are in oxygen?
