According to Fick's Law, gas diffuses faster through a thin respiratory membrane than through a thicker respiratory membrane.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Fick's Law states that the rate of gas diffusion is directly proportional to the surface area and concentration gradient of the gas, and inversely proportional to the thickness of the respiratory membrane. Therefore, gas will diffuse faster through a thinner respiratory membrane.
