Which consequence results when damage impairs lamellar structure?

💡 Explanation

Impaired lamellar structure reduces surface area; therefore, countercurrent exchange becomes less efficient because of less contact between blood and water, reducing oxygen uptake rather than increasing water ventilation rate or affecting osmotic capabilities.
