alveolar and capillary walls and their fused basement membranes
A respiratory membrane should be healthy.
The average thickness of respiratory membrane is 0.2 Mm
The respiratory membrane is formed by a combination of the walls of alveoli and walls of capillaries. It consists of type 1 alveolar cells, a basement membrane, capillary endothelium, alveolar epithelium and macrophages.
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.

hyaline membrane disease
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.
