A respiratory membrane should be healthy.
The average thickness of respiratory membrane is 0.2 Mm
The layers through which respiratory gases diffuse are known as the respiratory membrane. This membrane consists of the alveolar epithelium, basement membrane, and capillary endothelium. The exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide occurs through this membrane during respiration.

A decrease in the surface area of the respiratory membrane will result in a decrease in gas exchange.
The respiratory passages are lined with a mucous membrane called the respiratory epithelium. This epithelium helps trap foreign particles like dust and bacteria, and also contains cilia that help sweep these particles out of the respiratory system.

A Membrane is responsible for all the movements of particles inside or outside the cell.
Material moves from the respiratory system to the circulatory system by diffusing across a membrane in the air sacks called alveoli.
Any body area that has an outlet to the out side is covered in a mucous membrane: respiratory tact. digestive tract, urinary tract, even the membrane that surrounds the orbit of the eye (eye ball).
