What terminates in a grape like cluster of respiratory structures?

Grape-like clusters of respiratory structures are called alveoli, found at the end of bronchioles in the lungs. Each alveolus is surrounded by tiny blood vessels where gas exchange occurs, allowing for the intake of oxygen and removal of carbon dioxide from the body.

What the site of gas exchange?

Gas exchange takes place inside the lungs in the alveoli. The alveoli are a "grape like" structure at the very end of the respiratory tract. The alveoli are composed of a very thin membrane that separates the blood vessels from the gas chambers. The thin membrane allows diffusion of oxygen into the blood stream and diffusion of carbon dioxide (CO2) out of the blood stream. Once the CO2 has diffused into the alveoli, it is exhaled.
