2.4 Adaptations in Respiratory Systems

Which one is not features to ensure an efficient gaseous exchange with the surroundings?

• Moist surface of respiratory structures

• Thin respiratory structures such as the walls of blood capillaries

• Dry outer skin causes the respiratory gases to dissolve and diffuse easily

• Large surface area of respiratory structures
