Many alveoli-increases surface area for gas exchange
Thin alveolar wall-allows gases to diffuse easily and fast
Thin capillary wall-easy diffusion
Inner wall of alveoli-allows gases to dissolve, which they need to enter the capillary

Alveolar sacs are fine capillaries that facilitate in gas exchange.
Structure of alveolar sacs resemble to that of blood capillaries.

2. A large surface area is available.
3.The walls are thin.

What structure is adapted for the diffusion of gases?
The lungs have been adapted especially for making gas exchange more efficient. They are made up of clusters of alveoli, which are tiny air sacs with large surface areas, and are kept moist. They also have a rich blood supply, which maintains a concentration gradient in both directions. Carbon dioxide constantly being removed from the blood and oxygen constantly entering the lungs means that gas exchange happens at the highest concentration gradients to make it rapid and effective.
Three main ways the constitution can be adapted?
There are three main ways that the US Constitution can be adapted to the changes that take place within the country. These ways include amending it, interpretation, and adding to it.
Describe two wys in which the structure of a capillary is adapted to its function?
Two ways in which the structure of a capillary is adapted to its function is to encourage the exchange of oxygen. Another reason is to encourage the exchange of carbon dioxide.
What are two ways frogs can exchange gases?
They breathe through lungs while on land,and by their skin while in water Through their skin.
Why does less gas exchange in damage lungs?
less gas exchange damages the lungs because the less Co2 (carbon dioxide) that is let out dameges the body in more ways than explainalbe

What three ways dose the respiratory system modify air before it reaches the lungs?
if kevin touches it. it dies
What are some ways reptiles have adapted?
They possess lungs to obtain oxygen from air. Their sensory organs are adapted for smelling, hearing, generally sensing on land. The reptile egg, containing everything an embryo needs and covered by a protective shell, allows it to survive in hot and dry environment.
