Oxygen is transported from lungs to the body cells in the form of oxy-hemoglobin. ... The two main gases exchanged are oxygen and carbon-dioxide. Oxygen is absorbed by the blood capillaries from the lungs alveoli by diffusion while carbon-dioxide is absorbed by the lungs alveoli from blood capillaries by diffusion.

(i) Oxygen enters the human body through the nasal passage and reaches the lungs.
(ii) Numerous alveoli are present in the lungs. These alveoli are surrounded by many blood capillaries. From the alveoli, O2 is taken up by the red blood cells present in the blood capillaries.
(iii) Similarly, the CO2 from the various tissues is transported to the alveoli.
(iv) This CO2 is then released through the nasal passage during exhalation. Alveoli are the sites of exchange of gases. Each lung contains 300−350 million alveoli. These alveoli increase the surface area for gaseous exchange, making the process of respiration more efficient.
