Alveoli
- B.

Correct Answer
A. AlveoliExplanation
Gas exchange takes place in the alveoli of the lungs. The alveoli are small, thin-walled sacs that are surrounded by capillaries. Oxygen from the inhaled air diffuses through the walls of the alveoli and into the bloodstream, while carbon dioxide, a waste product of cellular respiration, diffuses from the bloodstream into the alveoli to be exhaled. This exchange of gases allows for the oxygenation of the blood and the removal of carbon dioxide, enabling the body to properly oxygenate tissues and remove waste products.Rate this question:
