Describe three adaptations that enhance the function of a respiratory surface
What will be an ideal response?
Gas diffusion can be enhanced across a respiratory membrane by: (1) increasing its surface area so
more gases diffuse, (2) making the respiratory surface thin so gas diffusion is more rapid, and (3)
making the respiratory surface moist so gases diffuse across cells more readily.
