To increase the effectiveness of exchange surfaces in the lungs and intestines, evolutionary pressures have: a. increased the surface area available for exchange b. increased the thickness of these linings c. increased the number of cell layers d. increased the volume of the cells in these linings e. decreased the metabolic rate of the cells in these linings 2. Interstitial fluid provides for the exchange of materials between blood and body cells. 3. The lining of the smallest tubules in the ki...
