Answer:
By increasing the surface area of the lungs for gaseous exchange.
Explanation:
Alveoli are small pouches or sacs. Large number of alveoli occur inside each lung. The whole surface area of an alveolus functions as a respiratory surface. Due to large number of alveoli in each lung, a very large area of respiratory surface becomes available (about 80m²) for exchange of gases. Thus, alveoli are designed to maximize the exchange of gases.
