   Elastic fibres: Fibres of elastin that allow the alveoli to stretch as air is drawn in and recoil back to normal size, expelling air. They are also found in the trachea, bronchi and bronchioles. Exchange surface: A surface over which materials are exchanged from one region to another.

   Gas exchange takes place continuously between the blood and cells throughout the body, and also between the blood and the air inside the lungs. Gas exchange in the lungs takes place in alveoli, which are tiny air sacs surrounded by networks of capillaries.

   What is the surface area of gas exchange by diffusion?

   • Gas exchange by diffusion depends on having a large surface area through which gases can pass. Although each alveolus is tiny, there are hundreds of millions of them in the lungs of a healthy adult, so the total surface area for gas exchange is huge. It is estimated that this surface area may be as great as 100 m 2 (or approximately 1,076 ft²).

   What is a large surface area?

   • A large surface area: alveoli Tiny air sacs in the lungs, where gas is exchanged during breathing. villi Finger-like projections in the small intestine that provide a large surface area for the absorption of food. capillary Tiny blood vessels with walls one-cell thick where exchange of materials occurs.

   What is the relationship between surface area and diffusion time?

   • Consequences for living organisms of relationship between surface area:volume ratio and diffusion time. Reasons why a small surface area (relative to volume) could be a disadvantage to living organisms. The circulatory system minimises diffusion distance for oxygen and food molecules so cells can be supplied quickly.

   What is the difference between surface area and volume?

   • The size of their surface, or surface area, defines how quickly they can absorb substances. The size of their volume defines how much of these substances they need. If we represent the cell of an organism by a cube: This is what happens when the cube increases in size: As the volume increases, surface area does not increase at the same rate.

   How does air pass through the lungs?

   • As the air passes through the cavity it is warmed to body temperature. The lungs contain a number of parts that facilitate the gas exchange. Trachea - It functions to funnel the inhaled air into the lungs, while also facilitating the removal of inhaled air out of the lungs.

   Mammalian Systems. Lungs are the primary gas exchange organs in mammals and most vertebrate. Commonly this organ is connected to a mass transport system in the form of blood vessels of the circulatory system. Pulmonary ventilation happens by inhaling or breathing in air through a nasal cavity.
