1. reduction in the secretion of surfactants by pneumocytes
2. benign growth on mucous lining of nasal cavity
3. inflammation of bronchi and bronchioles 
4. proliferation of fibrous tissues and damage of the alveolar walls

The efficiency of a respiratory system would be increased by all the following except:
1. increase the surface area available for diffusion of gases
2. decrease the distance over which the gases must diffuse
3. increase the concentration differences of gases inside and outside the system
4. dry the system out so the gases do not have to diffuse through water
