Vedclass · Answer

(C) In mammals like rabbits,the respiratory system consists of a branching network of tubes. The exchange of gases ($O_2$ and $CO_2$) occurs specifically at the respiratory surface. The alveolar ducts and the alveoli (air sacs) are the terminal parts of the respiratory tree where the blood-air barrier is thin enough to allow for the diffusion of gases. Therefore,the exchange of gases takes place in the alveolar ducts and alveoli.

Gas	Alveolar Air $(X/A)$	Atmospheric Air $(Y/B)$
$pO_{2}$	$X$	$Y$
$pCO_{2}$	$A$	$B$

In rabbits,which part of the lungs is responsible for the exchange of gases?
