Question
Chapter 38, Problem 1CT
Summary Introduction
To describe:
The way in which an embryo obtains the oxygen for aerobic respiration because at no point in human development does embryo has functional gills.
Introduction:
Fertilization is the process in which male and female gametes are fused to make an embryo. This embryo later develops into an organism. It undergoes several developmental processes to form a complete organism.

Students have asked these similar questions
Describe structural and functional differences between gills and lungs (ie. know the anatomy of lungs and gills). Why are birds’ lungs more efficient at removing O2 from the air compared with mammalian lungs?
If the gas gland in a marine bony fish becomes over active, thus allowing more oxygen through than normal, what will:
(i) the effect be on the structure that it is associated with?
(ii) the effect be on the organism itself?
In arthropods why isn't gas exchange done through cutaneous diffusion?

- SOURCE: Gills are the main site of gas exchange in almost all fishes. The gills consist of bony or cartilaginously stiffened arches that anchor pairs of gill filaments. In sharks, the pairs of gill filaments are separated by a fleshy septum. The numerous, minute lamellae that protrude from both sides of each filament are the primary sites of gas exchange; however, not all the blood flow in the gills is directed to the lamellae. "Nonrespiratory basal blood channels or venolymphatic simuses may carry a significant fraction of the gall blood found that resting rainbow trout perfused approximately 58% of their lamellae with blood. Trout in hypoxic (low dissolved oxygen) water or injected with epinepherine (eg. simulating stress or excitement) perfused more than 70% of their lamellae. Conversely, injections of acetylcholine decreased perfused lamellae to approximately 43%. These results indicate that rainbow trout can increase the number of lamellae that are used in respiration as the…arrow_forwardCrayfish have gills but open circulatory systems, whereas squid have gills but closed systems.
