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: -This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration.
Detailed explanation-3: -Carbon dioxide goes from the capillaries around the alveoli into the alveoli. Then carbon dioxide goes up the bronchioles to the bronchi, and then to the trachea to be exhaled.
