Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli in the lungs into the surrounding capillaries. The concentration of oxygen in the alveoli is higher than in the blood, so oxygen moves across the thin wall of the alveoli and into the bloodstream through a process called diffusion.
The thin surface of alveoli allows for efficient gas exchange between the air in the lungs and the blood in the capillaries. This thinness minimizes the distance oxygen and carbon dioxide need to diffuse, ensuring rapid exchange and efficient oxygen uptake by the body.
Carbon dioxide and oxygen exchange primarily in the lungs during respiration. Oxygen enters the bloodstream from the lungs, while carbon dioxide is removed from the bloodstream and exhaled out of the body. This exchange occurs in the alveoli, small air sacs in the lungs where oxygen from the air is absorbed and carbon dioxide from the blood is released.
The process is called gas exchange. Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli in the lungs into the blood in the capillaries surrounding the alveoli, while carbon dioxide diffuses from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled.
Oxygen and nutrients are carried by red blood cells in the bloodstream. The heart pumps oxygen-rich blood from the lungs to the rest of the body, where cells absorb oxygen and nutrients from the blood. The deoxygenated blood then returns to the heart and lungs to pick up more oxygen.

Gases are exchanged in the aveoli where oxygen goes in the blood stream while carbon dioxide goes in the aveoli.
the aveoli in the Lungs
The brochiole's function is to allow oxygen to pass into the aveoli (air sacks covered in capillaries) where the oxygen can then enter your blood stream.
At the aveoli, the blood transfers CO2 and the hemoglobin on red blood cells picks up 02.
how does the exchange of gasses between the aveoli and blood happen
oxygen.
Oxygen exchanges with CO2 (Carbon dioxide) to "purify" blood. This takes place in the aveoli (in the lungs) the blood is transported via blood vessels. Kidneys also purify blood
oxygen
tar is a sticky substance found in tobacco leaves when smocked it coats the lungs and aveoli. This prevents oxygen from reaching the blood.
The aveoli of the lungs are filled with oxygen when you take a breathe in.
Carbon dioxide leaves the blood and goes into the alveoli where it can then be breathed out of the body. It is also at this point that oxygen passes into the blood to be carried to where it is required for respiration - carbon dioxide being a by-product of respiration.
