Detailed Solution

Concept: In the lungs, the respiratory membrane is the layer where gaseous exchange occurs between alveoli and blood. 

It is a thin membrane made up of capillary and alveolar walls. 

Due to the solubility of carbon dioxide being 20–25 times greater than that of oxygen, carbon dioxide may diffuse through the diffusion membrane far more readily than oxygen.
