A respiratory surface must have a good supply of blood.
A respiratory surface needs to be thin, permeable, and have a large surface area to efficiently facilitate gas exchange.
However, the crucial aspect is the blood supply.
The proximity of blood capillaries to the respiratory surface allows for the rapid transfer of oxygen from the air to the blood and carbon dioxide from the blood to the air.
A center of symmetry is a point within a crystal where, if a line is drawn through that point and extended an equal distance on the other side, it intersects an identical point on the crystal.
Since this is a single, specific point within the crystal, there can only be one center of symmetry per crystal.
