Features of Gas Exchange Surfaces

All gas exchange surfaces share common features to maximise diffusion.
Large surface area allows faster diffusion of gases.
Thin walls ensure short diffusion distances.
Good ventilation maintains diffusion gradients.
Good blood supply maintains high concentration gradients.
In humans, the alveolus is the gas exchange surface.

Features of gas exchange surfaces

The Breathing System

Air enters through the nose/mouth, passes through the trachea.
The trachea splits into two bronchi (one to each lung).
Bronchi branch into smaller bronchioles.
Bronchioles end in tiny air sacs called alveoli.
The diaphragm and intercostal muscles help move air in and out.
Rib cage protects the lungs.

Structures in the human breathing system

Investigating Differences in Inspired & Expired Air

Use limewater to test for carbon dioxide: clear → cloudy/milky with CO₂.
Setup: inspired air drawn through boiling tube A, expired air blown into tube B.
Tube A (inspired) limewater stays clear; tube B (expired) turns cloudy.
Shows expired air has higher CO₂ concentration than inspired air.

The limewater test apparatus

Differences in Inspired & Expired Air

Inspired air: ~21% oxygen, ~0.04% carbon dioxide, variable water vapour.
Expired air: ~16% oxygen, ~4% carbon dioxide, ~1% more water vapour.
Expired air is warmer due to heat from respiration.
Differences result from gas exchange in alveoli.

Investigating Effects of Physical Activity on Breathing

Exercise increases frequency and depth of breathing.
Measure breaths per minute and chest expansion at rest.
After ≥3 minutes exercise, measure again.
Both breaths per minute and chest expansion increase after exercise.

Explaining Differences in Inspired & Expired Air (Extended)

Oxygen diffuses from alveoli into blood; carbon dioxide diffuses from blood into alveoli.
Oxygen used in respiration; carbon dioxide produced as a waste product.
Water vapour added from moist surfaces of respiratory tract.
Heat from respiration warms expired air.

Explaining the Link Between Physical Activity & Breathing (Extended)

Muscles respire more during exercise, increasing oxygen demand and CO₂ production.
Increased CO₂ in blood lowers pH (more acidic).
Receptors in the brain detect changes in CO₂ and pH.
Brain sends nerve impulses to diaphragm and intercostal muscles.
Rate and depth of breathing increase to supply more O₂ and remove more CO₂.
Respiration (chemical reactions) vs breathing (mechanical movement of air).
