What are the adaptations of respiratory system?

  • The respiratory system helps in exchange of gases between the atmosphere and the body.
  • This exchange of gases takes place in the alveoli of lungs.
  • Oxygen moves from lungs into the blood and carbon dioxide moves from the blood into alveoli of lungs where it is eventually exhaled into the atmosphere.
  • The alveoli have several adaptations for exchange of gases.
  • These adaptations include having a large surface area, moist surface, extensive blood supply, thin, permeable walls and high pressure gradient of gases.
  • For rapid diffusion of gases, a very thin wall of epithelium is required between the alveoli and the surrounding capillaries such as simple squamous epithelium.
