Q. In humans, exchange of gases occurs

A) By diffusion
B) Between blood and tissue
C) Between alveoli and pulmonary blood capillary
D) All of the above
Explanation

All of these. Alveoli are the primary site of exchange of gases. Exchange of gases also occur between the blood and tissue. $O_{2}$ and $CO_{2}$ are exchanged in these sites by simple diffusion, mainly based on pressure concentration gradient Pressure/Concentration gradient, solubility of gases as well as the thickness of the membranes involved in diffusion are some important factors that affects the rate of diffusion
