this is the function of the placenta, the mothers blood flows through capillaries that run very close to capillaries filled with the fetus' blood and the gases diffuse across due to the higher oxygen affinity of fetal haemoglobin.

What provide the greatest surface area for gas exchange?
Gas exchange occurs in the alveoli of the lungs.
How is surface area important to gas exchange?
Gas exchange is important as it is the transfer of oxygen from the surroundings to individual cells in the body, required by the cells for respiration. This process produces energy, essential for the organisms survival. A waste product of respiration is carbon dioxide, which if not removed from the body by gas exchange, will be harmful.
In which structure does gas exchange occur?
gas exchange occurs between pulmonary capillaries and the alveoli in the lungs.
Gas exchange is also known as?
Respiration is a process of gas exchange. Respiration is necessary to supply cells with oxygen for metabolism and to remove the waste by product carbon dioxide.
What are the openings in leaves of plants that regulate gas exchange?
Stomata are the openings in leaves that (among other functions) regulate gas exchange.
What effect does emphysema have on the total area available for gas exchange?
It lowers the area available for gas exchange, therefore gas exchange doesn't happen as quickly or as much as it should.
How does the fetal circulation work?
The blood goes from the mother to the placenta where gas exchange occurs to the fetus. From the placenta the blood goes into the arterium and to the body of the fetus.
For what purpose is the placenta attached to the mother and fetus?
The placenta being attached to both the mother and the fetus, provide important benefits, such as supplying nutrients to the fetus, eliminating waste, and gas exchange.
What provides a large surface area for gas exchange?
Your lungs provide a very large surface area for gas exchange.
Does the diaphragm function in fetus pig?
No, because it gets it's gas exchange done by it's mother.
What happens if the surface area of the respiratory membrane decrease in gas exchange?
A decrease in the surface area of the respiratory membrane will result in a decrease in gas exchange.
Is an organ that connects the developing fetus to the uterine wall to allow nutrient uptake waste elimination and gas exchange?
placenta
The greatest area for gas exchange in the lungs is provided by?
greatest area for gas exchange in the lungs is provided by Whoever wrote the above answer is a dick head. Try ALVEOLI.
What does the placenta do for the reproductive?
The placenta connects a developing fetus to the wall of the uterus, which allows gas exchange, nutrient absorption, and waste elimination
The feathery structure of gills aid in the function of gas exchange by?
it increases surface area for gas exchange which means that more oxygen is absorbed.
Why are the bronchiole walls folded?
To increase surface area for gas exchange.
Does respiratory exchange take place in fetus?
no
