Inhalation:
When you inhale (breathe in), air enters your lungs and oxygen from the air moves from your lungs to your blood.
Exhalation:
At the same time, carbon dioxide, a waste gas, moves from your blood to the lungs and is exhaled ( breath out). This process is called gas exchange and is essential to life.
Gas exchange:
Gas exchange takes place by diffusion in the alveoli within the lungs. As a result composition of inhaled and exhaled air is different.
