Where does the process of gas exchange actually occur?

Gas exchange occurs across the thin walls of the alveoli, tiny air sacs in the lungs. Oxygen moves from the air in the alveoli into nearby capillaries, while carbon dioxide moves from the blood into the alveoli to be exhaled. The bronchial tubes and bronchioles carry air toward the alveoli, but are not the main site of gas exchange.
