The gas exchange between the blood and the somatic cells (body cells) takes place in the capillaries of the circulatory system.
Oxygen rich blood leaves the heart through the large arteries, moving into the arterioles, smaller vessels carrying oxygen rich blood, on to the capillaries. Capillaries are tiny vessels which have porosity in their walls, through which gasses and nutrients may exchange. The capillary beds, when looking at a diagram of the circulatory system, the blood vessels turn from red to blue signifying oxygen rich (red) to oxygen poor blood.
The blood then begins its journey back to the pulmonary artery and heart, through the venules and veins.
Hope that answers your question!
Those tiny and beautiful blood vessels are called as capillaries. You have millions of them in your body. The nutrition and oxygen is given out, at the proximal end. The metabolic wastes and carbon bi oxide in taken in, at the distal end.
Oxygen and carbon dioxide are two substances exchanged across the membranes of red blood cells and muscle cells during respiration. Oxygen is taken up by red blood cells in the lungs and delivered to muscle cells for energy production, while carbon dioxide produced by muscle cells is carried away by red blood cells to be exhaled from the body.
Internal Respiration."Internal respiration is the diffusion of gases between blood and interstitial fluid across the endothelial cells of capillary walls."Says my Anatomy Book.
Interstitial compartments refer to the spaces or areas between cells in tissues where interstitial fluid circulates. This fluid contains nutrients, hormones, and waste products that are exchanged between cells and blood vessels. Interstitial compartments play a crucial role in maintaining the overall homeostasis of the body.
Capillaries are the smallest blood vessels in the body, consisting of a single layer of endothelial cells. They are where oxygen and nutrients are exchanged with tissues.

Diffusion
Diffusion
Oxygen, nutrients, waste products, hormones, and electrolytes are exchanged between the body cells and the blood plasma. This exchange occurs through the capillaries that connect the circulatory system with the cells in the tissues. Oxygen and nutrients are delivered to the cells, while waste products and carbon dioxide are removed from the cells and transported back to the excretory organs for elimination.

Exchange of materials between the blood and body cells occurs through the process of diffusion. Nutrients, waste products, gases (such as oxygen and carbon dioxide), and other molecules move across cell membranes to maintain homeostasis within the body. This exchange is essential for delivering nutrients to cells and removing waste products from the body.
Capillary: A tiny blood vessel where substances are exchanged between the blood and the body cells.
Diffusion
Substances exchanged through diffusion between blood and cells.So capillaries should be near to cells.
The blood is oxygenated that is oxygen which has been inhaled is added to the blood and the blood then transports it to other body parts.
Materials are exchanged between cells and the blood mainly at the capillaries. Capillaries are tiny blood vessels with thin walls that allow for the exchange of gases, nutrients, and waste products between the blood and surrounding tissues. This exchange process occurs through the process of diffusion.
