Physiology of Humans and Animals Quiz

What are the different respiratory structures found in:

• Mammals

• Amphibians

• Reptiles

• Birds

What are the adaptations of respiratory structures and their functions in gaseous exchange?

• Dry surface for better absorption

• Increased thickness for faster diffusion

• Reduced blood capillaries for slower transport

• Moist surface for gas dissolution
