The thin walls of the blood vessels are capillaries around the alveolar sacs that permit diffusion of gases in every single red blood cell with oxygen inhaled
...
they are thinner to improve the pressure gradient to allow more O2 in the capillaries, because the pulmonary capillaries have the lowest blood pressure in the body (normally)
The air sacs in the lungs where gases move into and out of the blood are called alveoli. They are tiny, thin-walled sacs surrounded by blood capillaries, allowing for efficient gas exchange between the lungs and the bloodstream.

The tiny air sacs are called alveoli. Oxygen from the air enters the bloodstream through the walls of the alveoli, while carbon dioxide from the bloodstream is released into the air sacs to be exhaled.

The smallest tube in the lungs is the Bronchus
Inside the lungs are alveoli (tiny air sacs). This is where oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
