The major function of the lungs is gas exchange. Gas exchange requires the entire cardiopulmonary system which includes the heart, lungs, and blood vessels (arteries,arterioles,capillaries,veins),. At the capillaries which is the smallest vessels with thin walls permitting diffusion and gas exchange the carbon dioxide (C02) and oxygen (02) are exchanged. It is the capillaries that allows tissues to be supplied with the essential oxygen that they need and allows the tissues get rid of the toxic waste products including C02. The waste products will travel back to the veins, back to the heart where they then go to the lungs and are expired. When an individual inhales, the oxygen is taken in via alveoli in the lungs, travel to the heart then to the arteries and then to the tissues. and the cycle continues...
