Alveoli are thin air sacs where the exchange of gases takes place. The capillaries come so near to the air ducts that the gases from the blood difuse into the air and vice versa. The carbon dioxide diffuses from the red cell bodies to the air we are breathing while oxygen more abundant in the air diffuses into the blood.
