Question

a)

Gill lice infections result in lowered surface area to volume ratios in fish gill structure.

 

 

  True
  False

Levels of carbon dioxide in the blood will not differ between infected and uninfected fish.

 

Question options:

  True
  False

 

The branched nature of capillaries in fish gills increases surface area, and thus the efficiency of exchange into/out of the blood stream lation.

 

Question  opti

  True
  False

 

Gill lice, such as Ergasilus, attach themselves to the gill filaments of fish and feed on their blood and mucus (Figure 1). This leads to a range of negative impacts on the host's respiratory system. 5 mm R Figure 1. A gill arch from a fish showing the presence of several gill lice (Ergasilus) on the delicate and numerous gill filaments. Filaments, which radiate downwards towards the bottom of this image, are responsible for efficient gas exchange in aquatic environments. The gill filaments are thin, finger-like structures that are covered in tiny blood vessels called capillaries. These finger-like filaments have additional feather-like structures called secondary lamellae (Figure 2, Figure 3A). Oxygen from the water diffuses across the thin walls of the capillaries and into the fish's bloodstream, while carbon dioxide from the fish's metabolism diffuses out of the bloodstream and into the water.
