The structures that provide a huge surface area for the diffusion of gases are the alveoli in the lungs and the thin-walled capillaries surrounding them. Alveoli are tiny air sacs that dramatically increase the surface area available for gas exchange, allowing for efficient oxygen uptake and carbon dioxide release. Additionally, the branching structure of the bronchioles and the extensive network of capillaries contribute to this large surface area, facilitating rapid diffusion.
