Question and answer
how are the lungs adapted to promote gaseous exchange?
Gas exchange takes place at a respiratory surface - a boundary between the external environment and the interior of the body. [ For unicellular organisms the respiratory surface is simply the cell membrane, but for large organisms it is part of specialised organs like lungs, gills or leaves. www.mrothery.co.uk/exchange/exchange.htm ]

Lungs are adapted for gas exchange because they contain tiny sacs called alveoli through which the gas exchange can take place.
