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.
Exchange of gases occurs between cappilaries and what?
To allow Oxygen to travel to every Cell in a living organism there is a gas exchange between nearby Capillaries and the cells of that organism.The same exchange works the other direction to take away waste products of cell living

How can capillaries allow gas exchange?
Large surface area + small radius for diffusion.
