Summary Introduction
Introduction:
The respiratory system is a major system that functions predominantly in the exchange of gases such as oxygen and carbon dioxide. It starts from the external nostril to the alveoli of the lungs. The respiratory tract is lined by various types of type’s epithelial cells, such as squamous, cuboidal, and pseudo stratified columnar epithelial cells. The alveoli are lined by non-ciliated simple squamous epithelium with scanty smooth muscles and belong to the respiratory zone that plays a key role in the exchange of gases.

Students have asked these similar questions
The alveoli in the lungs where gas exchange occurs are composed of a simple squamous epithelium. What is thestructure of this tissue type, and how does its structure make gas exchange possible?
Oxygen diffuses from the inhaled air in the alveoli of the lungs, where its concentration is higher, into
the cytoplasm of red blood cells, where its concentration is lower. Patients diagnosed with
emphysema have damaged alveoli. This results to fewer, larger air spaces instead of many small
ones. Explain how this damage can lead to shortness of breath?
The surface area of lungs is reduced. Hence, less oxygen can diffuse into the red blood
cells.
The surface area of lungs is increased. Hence, more oxygen can diffuse into the red blood

cells.
