Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
what is the part of the lung called where Gas exchange occurs?
A
Bronchi
B
Bronchioles
C
Trachea
D
Aveoli
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -Tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles (tiny branches of air tubes in the lungs). The alveoli are where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during the process of breathing in and breathing out.

Detailed explanation-2: -At the end of each bronchiole is a cluster of little air sacs called alveoli. 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: -Oxygen diffuses from the alveoli into the capillaries, which carry it out of the lungs and to the rest of the body; carbon dioxide diffuses into the alveoli and is then exhaled out of the body. The respiratory membrane is the barrier through which oxygen and carbon dioxide are exchanged.
