Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
I have a large surface area to increase how much oxygen and carbon dioxide can pass to and from the blood stream
A
Trachea
B
Bronchi
C
Alveoli
D
None of the above
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -When we breathe in, the millions of air sacs in the lungs fill with fresh oxygenated air. The oxygen then moves into the blood by passing first through the very thin walls of the air sacs and then into the capillaries, which are tiny blood vessels in a network within the lungs.

Detailed explanation-2: -This exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide is called respiration.

Detailed explanation-3: -The partial pressure of oxygen is high in the alveoli and low in the blood of the pulmonary capillaries. As a result, oxygen diffuses across the respiratory membrane from the alveoli into the blood. In contrast, the partial pressure of carbon dioxide is high in the pulmonary capillaries and low in the alveoli.
