Oxygen dissolves in the moisture lining alveoli and diffuses into red blood cells, where it combines with hemoglobin to form oxyhemoglobin. Blood flowing to the alveoli from tissues has a lower oxygen partial pressure and higher carbon dioxide partial pressure than alveolar air, since oxygen has been used by tissues for cellular respiration and carbon dioxide produced by tissues is transported to the alveoli by the blood to be exhaled.

Have low partial pressure of
O2 than in alveoli. This is because blood that reaches alveoli come frm body tissues. Most oxygen has been taken up by tissues for cellular respiration.
Have high partial
pressure of CO2 compared to alveoli. This is because CO2 produced by body cells n brought by blood to alveoli.
