Fill the blank spaces to complete the text.

The of the lungs are highly specialised to efficient gas exchange. For example, as well as having a high blood supply, they have a large , and there are only layers of cells between the alveolar sac and the blood, creating a short (about [in digits] micrometer). The epithelium secretes a that acts as a solvent for the gases and the linings are permeable to and dioxide.
