respiratory surface a special area that is developed in order to satisfy the requirements for gaseous exchange in larger organisms. Examples include external gills, internal gills, lungs, and the insect tracheae. The surfaces are thin and moist with a differential gradient maintained between the air...
The gills of a fish The gills function similarly to the bronchi within mammalian lungs. They have a large surface area and are highly vasculated, meaning they contain thousands of small blood vessels. This maximizes the amount of dissolved oxygen that can be extracted from the water. The gener...

Marine mammals also breathe air, and must come up to the surface of the water to breathe. They have small lungs in relation to their body size compared to humans to reduce problems of nitrogen building up in the blood caused by diving. They have to make sure no water gets into the gas...
Reptiles, including snakes and lizards, typically have lungs with extensive folding to increase surface area for gas exchange, while some species also rely on cutaneous respiration through their skin. Amphibians Amphibians, like frogs, have simple lungs but also utilize their moist skin for gas excha...
