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: -PULMONARY CAPILLARIES: Deoxygenated blood enters into the pulmonary arteries from the right side of the heart and is delivered to the pulmonary capillaries, the smallest blood vessels inside of the lungs, attached to the walls of the alveoli.
