the surface area of the lungs in humans is about 70 square meters.
how can this be so if the lungs are located in the small space of the thoracic cavity?
qhat role do alveoli play in the nature of surface area
alveoli expand/surface area expands/ more inner walls
effect of emphysema on the surface area of the lungs

secrete solution that buffers stomach acid
how do fats or oils move from the digestive system to cardiovascular system:
broken into fatty acids which enter small intestine - villi - lymphatic system - cardiovascular system
how would a high fat diet create potential health issues for someone?
lots of fat deposits would be created which could cause atherosclerosis (built up plaque on the inner walls of arteries)
