Discuss why the levels of branching are important in the respiratory tract.
Homework Answers
Ans
Due to branching it devide in a large number of small small bulb like structure called alveoli and these alveoli increase the total surface area for gas exchange
That is - to increase the surface area for gas exchange the is branching occurs in the respiratory system
