Deoxygenated blood is pumped through pulmonary arteries to elastic sac-like structures in the lungs called alveoli. These alveoli are where the exchange of carbon dioxide for oxygen takes place during the process of respiration.
The small sac-like structures that are the site of gas exchange in the lungs are called alveoli. They are responsible for the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the air we breathe and our bloodstream, allowing for efficient respiration.

Yes.
alveoli
The exchange of carbon dioxide and oxygen takes place in the lungs, specifically in the alveoli where oxygen is taken in by the blood and carbon dioxide is released from the blood to be exhaled out of the body through the respiratory system.
"Alveoli"
Alveoli are found within the lungs. The alveoli act as a specialised gaseous exchange surface in mammals. Another function of alveoli is the production of surfactant.
Respiration is a technical word for breathing. it means the same thing.
Diffusion
The other term is respiration.
