Required Answer :-

The exchange of gases takes place in the alveoli.

▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬▬

Additional information :-

  • Alveoli are microscopic air sacs.

  • They are the primary sites of exchange of gases. Gas exchange also occurs in lungs and tissues by diffusion.

  • Atmospheric air contains little CO2, but blood flowing in pulmonary capillaries has a higher concentration of CO2.

  • CO2 diffuses from higher concentration in blood across walls of alveolar capillaries to lower concentration in air in alveoli.

  • Blood coming into pulmonary capillaries is oxygen poor and alveolar air is oxygen rich.

  • Oxygen diffuses from higher concentration in alveoli across walls of alveolar capillaries to lower concentration in blood.

Hope it's helps !!
