  • A fixed joint is like the sutures of the skull. The joints hardly move.
  • The hinge joint is those that have 90 degrees freedom of movement such as the elbow joint.
  • Gliding joint occurs where one bone glides over the other's flat or nearly flat articular surfaces. Examples are those of the ankles.
  • The ball-and-socket joint allows for 180-degree freedom of movement. An example is the joint at the hip bone.

gogolik [260]

Answer:

B) increased exchange surface provided by their membranes

Explanation:

Alveoli are tiny air sacs that are responsible for exchanging oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2) in the lungs. Alveoli have elastic fibers in order to expand and recoil depending on the volume of air breathed in. The alveolar epithelial cells (pneumocytes) may adopt a shape that serves to increase the surface area of gas exchange. On the other hand, intestinal epithelial cells have microvilli, which are microscopic projections in the plasma membrane. Microvilli serve to increase the cell's surface area, thereby facilitating the absorption of nutrients and water.
