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: -Gas exchange takes place in the millions of alveoli in the lungs and the capillaries that envelop them. As shown below, inhaled oxygen moves from the alveoli to the blood in the capillaries, and carbon dioxide moves from the blood in the capillaries to the air in the alveoli.
Detailed explanation-3: -Complete answer: Air sacs are the internal compartment filled with air to facilitate internal air. Vertebrates have air sacs present in different body parts & perform various functions. Air sacs provide large surface area for gaseous exchange and increase the respiratory efficiency of the organism.
