The document describes the features of the mammalian lung that enable efficient gas exchange. It discusses the alveolus as an efficient exchange surface due to diffusion of oxygen and carbon dioxide. It also outlines the distribution of cartilage, cilia, goblet cells, smooth muscle, and elastic fibers in the trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli and their functions in facilitating gas exchange. Diagrams and photographs are provided to illustrate these structures and distributions.
