Question

How are the lungs designed in human being to maximize the area for exchange if gases

Answer 1

Answer:

it's because of alveoli found in lungs

Explanation:

alveoli have air sac that increase area for exchange of gases

Answer 2

Answer:

• The lungs is an important part of the body. The passage inside the lungs divides into smaller and smaller tubes, which finally terminate in balloon-like structures, called as alveoli.
• The alveoli provide a surface where the exchange of gases can take place. The walls of the alveoli usually contains an extensive network of blood vessels. We know that, when we breathe in, we lift our ribs, flatten our diaphragm and chest cavity becomes larger.
• Because of this action, air is sucked into the lungs and fills the expanded alveoli.
• The blood brings the essential carbon dioxide from rest of the body and supply it to alveoli; the oxygen in the alveolar air is taken up by the blood in the alveolar blood vessels to be transported to the all other cells of the body. During the normal breathing cycle, when air is taken in and let out, the lungs always contain a residual volume of air so that there is sufficient time for oxygen to be absorbed and carbon dioxide to be released.
