摘要
Lungs evolved to increase diffusing capacity by compartmentalizing and reducing the size of individual gas exchange units. This increased the potential for gas exchange limitations from ventilation-perfusion heterogeneity. However, comparative studies on reptiles, birds, and mammals show that heterogeneity is independent of lung complexity.
