Question

Does gaseous exchange take place in which surface of respiratory system

Answer 1

Gas Exchange Between Alveolar Spaces and Capillaries. The function of the respiratory system is toexchange two gases: oxygen andcarbon dioxide. The exchange takesplace in the millions of alveoli in thelungs and the capillaries that envelop them.

Answer 2

Answer:

Therefore, oxygen has a diffusion rate in air 10,000 times greater than in water. The use of sac-like lungs to remove oxygen from water would therefore not be efficient enough to sustain life. Rather than using lungs, gaseous exchange takes place across the surface of highly vascularized gills.
