Pneumonia interferes with CO2 elimination and O₂ uptake primarily by: Slowing diffusion by reducing the surface area of alveoli Reducing air flow into and out of the lungs by reducing the cross sectional area of the airways Decreasing the partial pressure of the air in the alveoli. O loss of elasticity of the lungs making it difficult to move air into and out of the lungs O increasing the diffusion distance due to buildup of fluid within the alveoli Which of the following is not part of the respiratory membrane? all of the other answers are part of the respiratory membrane the squamous cells of the alveoli areolar connective tissue a basement membrane the endothelium of the capillary
