Exam points

  • Relate alveolar surface area, thin walls, moisture and capillaries to efficient gas exchange.
  • Explain how ventilation, alveolar structure and surfactant support oxygen and carbon-dioxide diffusion.
  • Use emphysema evidence to predict changes in gas exchange and exercise response.
