The efficiency of a respiratory system is enhanced by all the following except:
| 1. | increasing the surface area available for diffusion of gases |
| 2. | decreasing the distance over which the gases must diffuse |
| 3. | increasing the concentration differences of gases inside and outside the system |
| 4. | drying the system out so the gases do not have to diffuse through water |
