Multiple Choice

Use the following information to answer the question.

Thus, there is one-way flow of air through the lungs, along thousands of tubules called parabronchi.
The one-way flow of air along parabronchi makes what type of gas exchange mechanism possible, at least theoretically?

• A) the same as that occurring in fish gills
• B) the same as that occurring in insect tracheae
