Question
Chapter 49.2, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for lungfish brooding in stagnant water results in the rise of oxygen content in the water immediately surrounding their eggs.
Introduction:
Lungs are the important respiratory organ present in almost all the vertebrates, which allows the organism to take in oxygen and throw out carbon dioxide. These are in close association with the circulatory system of the body in order to exchange the gases from the blood.

QUESTION 6 Mammalian lungs are very different in structure compared to amphibian lungs. The lungs of mammals have highly complex branching patterns of airways. The lungs of amphibians are simpler and more sac-like. Over all, the lungs of mammals are capable of much greater rates of gas exchange compared to amphibians. Why is this? O The more complex structure provides more surface area across which gas exchange can occur. O A complex structure means that gases have more contact time with gases compared to a simpler structure. O Mammalian lungs are usually much bigger relative to their bodies compared to amphibian lungs. O The respiratory membranes of mammals are able to diffuse gases across them much faster than amphibians. QUESTION 7 Click Save and Submit to sve and submit.
