CO2 is lost in the lungs during the process of respiration, specifically through gas exchange in the alveoli. When blood reaches the lungs, it has a higher concentration of CO2 compared to the air in the alveoli. This concentration gradient allows CO2 to diffuse from the blood into the alveolar air, where it is then exhaled. This process helps to regulate blood pH and maintain proper respiratory function.
