SSL (Secure Sockets Layer) is a standard security protocol for encrypting connections between a server and a client. This ensures all communications between the client and the server remain confidential. In most online implementations, the 'client' is an internet browser and the 'server' is a website to which the browser is connected.
Introductionâ¢ Oxygen and carbon dioxide diffuse between the alveoli and pulmonary capillaries in the lungs, andbetween the systemic capillaries and cells throughout the body.â¢ The diffusion of these gases, moving in opposite directions, is called gas exchange.Page 2.
During the exchange, the gases must rapidly cross the respiratory membrane that separates the alveolar and capillary lumens. Gas Exchange The respiratory membrane is about 0.6 micrometers thick and consists of the alveolar squamous cell, the capillary endothelial cell, and two fused basement membranes (formed by the alveolar and capillary cells).
