Question

how are lungs designed in human body to maximise the area of exchange of gases
​

Answer 1

Answer:

Lungs play a major role in the respiratory system. In humans, a pair of lungs are designed in such a way that they are lined by a thin membrane, the smaller tubes called bronchioles a balloon-like structure called alveoli and network of blood capillaries increase the surface area for exchange of gases.

Answer 2

Within the lungs , the air passage

divides into smaller and smaller tubes

called bronchi which in turn form

bronchioles . The bronchioles terminate

in balloon-like structures called alveoli .

The alveoli present in the lungs provide

maximum surface for exchange of gases .

The alveoli have vary thin walls and

contain an extensive network of blood

vessels to facilitate exchange of gases .
