Where in the breathing system do the changes in the gas content of air happen?
Changes in the gas content of air occur primarily in the alveoli of the lungs. Here, oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses into the blood, while carbon dioxide from the blood diffuses into the alveoli to be exhaled. This exchange is facilitated by the thin walls of the alveoli and the extensive surface area provided by the lung tissue. Thus, the alveoli play a crucial role in gas exchange within the respiratory system.
