Where does gas exchange occur
A
heart
B
alveoli
C
pharynx
D
trachea
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -During gas exchange oxygen moves from the lungs to the bloodstream. At the same time carbon dioxide passes from the blood to the lungs. This happens in the lungs between the alveoli and a network of tiny blood vessels called capillaries, which are located in the walls of the alveoli.

Detailed explanation-2: -Alveoli are wrapped in tiny blood vessels called capillaries. The air you breathe in fills these air sacs with oxygen-rich air. This is where the exchange of gases occurs.

Detailed explanation-3: -In the lungs, the gaseous exchange occurs through alveoli in the lungs and blood capillaries. The oxygen inhaled through the air in the lungs moves from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries through the process of diffusion as the oxygen concentration is high in the alveoli and low in the blood capillaries.
