Document Summary

In human embryo, evolved out of it in adult stage. Water comes in through mouth, out through slits. O2 and co2 exchange across surface gills. Salt water and hot water hold less o2. Gill slits and gill arches found on all slits. Gill filaments are on the gill arches. Capillary beds in gill filaments: gas exchange. Gill filament has lamellae running across it. Water and blood flow in opposite directions. Need higher o2 in water than in blood, so o2 diffuses into blood. Across lamellae, o2 gradient in blood and water for continual o2 diffusion. Oxygenated blood moves through dorsal aorta, distributed. Venous blood collected, moved back to heart for oxygenation. Has to passively diffuse around system to get to the heart. Fish have pectoral fins, arms are really just fins. Fish diversity (hendry loves fish) (hendry"s family loves fish) (met wife at fish school) When we talk about fish we"re talking early vertebrates.
