In vertebrates, pharyngeal tissue supported by arches. Water coming in mouth passes through slits. O2 & co2 can be exchanged across a respiratory surface = gills gills located between slits, supported by arched. Bars between the slits = gill arches. Gill filaments are on the gill arches (many off one gill arch) For later in the lesson: bony fish have 4 pairs of gill arches, each arch has many pairs of gill filaments. Bony fish also have a gill cover (operculum) Structure is thin, vascularized, high surface area. Capillary beds in gill filaments; gas exchange. Filament epithelium is one cell thick (1-2 um) very thin!
