Adaptations of a respiratory surface.

• It must be permeable, so that gases can pass through.
• It must be thin, because diffusion is only efficient over distances of 1mm or less.
• It should possess a large surface area so that sufficient amounts of gases are able to be exchanged according to the organisms need.
• It must be moist to ease diffusion of gases across the respiratory surface.
