Question 5 of 5
What is the main mechanism for the exchange of gases in the respiratory system?
Correct Answer: D
Rationale: The exchange of gases in the respiratory system occurs primarily through simple diffusion. Oxygen and carbon dioxide move across the respiratory membranes (such as alveolar membranes and capillary walls) based on pressure/concentration gradients. They move from areas of higher partial pressure to areas of lower partial pressure until equilibrium is reached.
