membranes. The ways that effectiveness of an exchange surface can be increased are: Large surface area: a larger surface area means that more diffusion can occur at once. Thin membrane: this speeds up the exchange because the diffusion path is shorter so the molecules have less distance to travel. Efficient blood supply: In animals the blood system is very efficient for transporting a variety of substance around the body. Ventilation: gaseous exchange is also a very important for exchanging materials
