Gaseous exchange is the process where we get the oxygen we need into our bodies and the Carbon dioxide, that we produce during respiration, out. This process takes place in little sacks of the lungs called alveolus. These Alveolus have several features that encourage gasseos exchange to take place including moist, one cell thick walls. The gases move by the process of deffusion. Deffusion is when gasses spread from an area of high concentratio to low concentration. The oxygen diffuses into the blood and the carbon diffuses int the lung.(Red blood cells exchange carbon dioxide for oxygen. -TRIP)

How do land snail exchange gas's?

Land snails have a simple lung that is located next to their psudo-heart. This lung helps them exchange gas through a air hole located near the anterior posrtion of the head. Snails also have breathable skin, which aids in small levels of gas exchange with the atmosphere.

Why is the lung moist and what role does this moisture play in its function?

The lung is moist to help with the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during breathing. The moisture in the lung helps to keep the airways lubricated and allows for efficient gas exchange between the air and the blood vessels in the lungs. This moisture also helps to filter out particles and pathogens from the air we breathe.

Where is the lung cell found?

In the lungs? Can you please be more specific. There are lung tissues and sacs that aid in gas exchange called alveoli, but there really isn't a specific lung cell.
