Summary Introduction

To review:

The influence of surface area and thickness of the respiratory membrane upon the efficiency of pulmonary gas exchange.

Introduction:

Pulmonary gas exchange occurs in the alveoli and the capillaries of the lungs. The process is also called external respiration. Certain factors, such as surface area and the thickness of the respiratory membrane, have the ability to influence the gas exchange in the lungs.
