Gas exchange in the lungs occurs at the level of the:
Alveoli
Gas exchange in the lungs occurs at the alveoli, the millions of tiny thin-walled air sacs where oxygen diffuses from inspired air into the pulmonary capillary blood and carbon dioxide diffuses in the opposite direction.
The trachea, bronchi and bronchioles are purely conducting airways that carry air to and from the alveoli; they do not take part in gas exchange.
Hence, Alveoli.
