Which of the following structures changes the volume of the lungs?
a. alveoli
b. heart
c. trachea
d. diaphragm - correct answers✅✅d. diaphragm
Which of the following statement best explains how the structure of alveoli
relates to its function?
a. alveoli are large to maximize gas exchange
b. the walls the alveoli are thin to increase rate of diffusion
c. the walls of the alveoli are thick to prevent pressure buildup
d. alveoli are small to increase the transportation of cells - correct
answers✅✅b. the walls the alveoli are thin to increase rate of diffusion
The thin walls decreases the distance between the air and bloodstream,
increasing the rate of diffusion.
