Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lungs and in the capillaries. The direct process of gas exchange occurs in alveoli located within the lungs. Blood is sent from the heart through pulmonary arteries, exchanging the carbon dioxide within erythrocytes (red blood cells) for oxygen provided by the air lungs store when inhaling.
In the capillaries, oxygen diffuses through the capillary walls into the tissues, and carbon dioxide diffuses from the tissues into the capillaries.
In the lungs.
Simple squamous epithelium is the type of epithelial tissue present in the organs where exchange of substances takes place, such as in the lungs for gas exchange or in the kidney for filtration. This type of tissue is thin and allows for efficient diffusion of substances.
The volume of air that cannot undergo gas exchange is known as dead space. It consists of the air in the conducting airways (trachea, bronchi, bronchioles) where gas exchange does not occur because it does not reach the alveoli where oxygen and carbon dioxide exchange takes place.
The exchange of gases in a leaf primarily occurs in the mesophyll cells, which are located in the interior layers of the leaf. The stomata, small openings on the surface of the leaf, also play a crucial role in gas exchange by allowing carbon dioxide to enter and oxygen to exit the leaf.
The exchange of gases in the body primarily takes place in the lungs through the process of breathing. Oxygen from inhaled air diffuses into the bloodstream in the lungs, while carbon dioxide produced by cells in the body diffuses out of the bloodstream into the lungs to be exhaled.
worms carry out gas exchange by absorbing air through their skin
The gas exchange that takes place in the lungs are carbon dioxide and oxygen.

It's because a process called gas exchange has taken place in the fish's body. Oxygenated blood is pumped throughout the body, and the cells in the body take out oxygen and put in carbon dioxide (gas exchange). The blood returning to the heart of the fish is deoxygenated, and it will have to eventually go to the gills. There, the carbon dioxide (CO2) will get dumped into the water and oxygen (O2) will be picked up from the water at the same time in another gas exchange.

to protect the gills
Water must flow with some regularity across the gills of fish for gas exchange to take place. This is essential if the fish is to stay alive. Oxygen is taken from the water by the gills, and carbon dioxide is put into the water. The gills of fish serve essentially the same function as the lungs of people.
