The average thickness of respiratory membrane is 0.2 Mm
B. thickness increases since mucus is produced and covers the membranePulmonary edema is is an abnormal accumulation of fluid beneath the skin, or in one or more cavities of the body.It would be safe to assume that the respiratory membrane of the patient is filling up with fluid (as in pneumonia) and the membrane will increase (as in pneumonia)
The three main factors of external respiration are the partial pressure gradient of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the alveoli and blood, the surface area of the respiratory membrane, and the thickness of the respiratory membrane.
A respiratory membrane should be healthy.
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.
Yes
A Membrane is responsible for all the movements of particles inside or outside the cell.
