Respiratory Flashcards
the use of oxygen to break down sugars
cellular respiration
facilitates greater gas transfer where the keratinized skin of amniotes does not
thin, mucus-covered skin
water can become ______ (low oxygen) or _______( no oxygen)
hypoxic
anoxic
fish breathe in what surface layer?
supersaturated
unidirectional
gills
bidirectional (tidal)
-gasses may mix
lungs
endodermal diverticula of pharynx
lungs
open and close
Glottis
windpipe usually split into two bronchi then goes to bronchioles
trachea
first fossil evidence of lung
Bothriolepis (placoderm)
act as buoyancy control devices
swim bladders
respiratory swim bladders primitively in
neopterygians
promitive swim bladder
physostomous swim bladder
reatains pneumatic duct to esophagus, air is gulped in and forced to swim bladder
physostomous swim bladder
who uses physostomous swim bladder
acipsenseriformes and nasal teleosts
Loses pneumatic duct to esophagus
physostomous swim bladder
salamanders use this to breath mostly through the skin
cutaneous respiration
used by small organisms for ventilation
-retained in tetrapods because basically the outside moves im
cillia
reduces surface tenton which can collapse surface
(lungs and swim bladders)
fast moving fishes use this and open their mouths and swim
ram ventilation
