organ where blood picks up oxygen and releases carbon dioxide
A
heart
B
lungs
C
pancreas
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Once in the lungs, oxygen is moved into the bloodstream and carried through your body. At each cell in your body, oxygen is exchanged for a waste gas called carbon dioxide. Your bloodstream then carries this waste gas back to the lungs where it is removed from the bloodstream and then exhaled.

Detailed explanation-2: -The carbon dioxide produced is expelled through the lungs during exhalation. The benefit of the bicarbonate buffer system is that carbon dioxide is “soaked up” into the blood with little change to the pH of the system.
