How are surface area of lungs important for gaseous exchange

Biology
1 answer:
Rzqust [24]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Larger surface area to volume ratio increases the amount of area in contact with air in the lungs to allow for uptake of oxygen and release of carbon dioxide. Basically with a larger surface area, carbon dioxide in the blood capillaries are easily released and oxygen is easily taken up, increasing efficiency of gaseous exchange.

TRUE OR FALSE<br> Oxygen is absorbed into the bloodstream in the trachea?
Arte-miy333 [17]

False. Oxygen is absorbed in the alveoli sacs of the lungs.

Upon inhalation Air must first pass through the larynx and down to the trachea, which then splits off into two separate bronchial tubes, the bronchial tubes divide into smaller air passages known as the bronchi and those into even smaller bronchioles. The bronchioles end in tiny sacs called the alveoli which transfer the oxygen from the inhaled air to the bloodstream.
