What are the features that make the gills of bony fishe efficient gaseous exchange?
Using many structures called gill lamellaes
Where in your respiratory system does the exchange of O2 happen?
Gaseous exchange occurs in the alveoli (singular = alveolus) of the lungs.
What is the respiratory organ of earthworms?
The earthworm has no special respiratory organs. Gaseous exchange occurs through moist skin by diifusion.
What is the study of respiratory system?
The respiratory system is the anatomical system of an organism that introduces respiratory gases to the interior and performs gas exchange. In humans and other mammals, the anatomical features of the respiratory system include airways, lungs, and the respiratory muscles. Molecules of oxygen and carbon dioxide are passively exchanged, by diffusion, between the gaseous external environment and the blood. This exchange process occurs in the alveolar region of the lungs.[1] Other animals, such as insects, have respiratory systems with very simple anatomical features, and in amphibians even the skin plays a vital role in gas exchange. Plantsalso have respiratory systems but the directionality of gas exchange can be opposite to that in animals. The respiratory system in plants also includes anatomical features such as holes on the undersides of leaves known as stomata.[2]

What does Cappilarisation of the Alveoli mean?
Cappilarisation is where the capillaries in the lungs and surrounding the alveoli increase in numbers, making gaseous exchange in the lungs more efficient so that the respiratory system is more efficient gnereally and during exercise, meaning the heart does not have to work at a higher level to supply nutrients and oxygen to muscles and organs.
What is the respiratory organ in a worm?
Spiracle, or a respiratory tube
Name the respiratory surface in the lungs?
Respiratory surface is the region where gaseous exchange occur. It includes respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct and alveolus. Large surface surface is needed the increase the diffusion rate of gaseous. Respiratory surface also exhibit other properties such as moist and only one-cell thick. Nika G.
What is the function of a leafs stomata?
Help in gaseous exchange
What is the name for exchange of gas in the lungs?
gaseous exchange
What is the function of diaphragm in the respiratory system?
Changing the volume of the chest cavity, and therefore inspiration and expiration.The function of the diaphragm is to inflate and deflate the lungs for gaseous exchange.
What is the difference between ventilation and gaseous exchange?
Gaseous exchange is a natural process, ventilation is a forced process.
