Air sacs. Pulmonary alveolus, informally known as an air sac, one of innumerable spherical outcroppings of the respiratory bronchioles in the mammalian lung, the primary sites of gas exchange with the blood
Pulmonary alveolus-Type II cells that secrete surfactant to lower the surface tension of water and allows the membrane to separate thereby increasing the capability to exchange gases.

The actual exchange of oxygen->carbon dioxide takes place in the capillaries of the alveoli (air sacs).The mouth/nose/windpipe/lungs are all passages that oxygen and CO2 take, and the diaphragm is the muscle that moves to stimulate the expansion and compression for inspiration and expiration.

As, you have only named some of the organs of the Respiratory System.
The lungs contain the Alveoli or terminal air sacs.
Since gas exchanges with the blood, happens only in the alveoli, the other respiratory system structures are really just conducting passageways that allow air to get to the lungs.

It takes place in the alveoli which are in the lungs.

air exchange actually happens in the capillary beds around the alveoli in your lungs
