Tracheoles end in a moist ‘skin’ that reaches every cell so oxygen can now diff use into the cells.

Some insects can ‘pump’ their body to assist in the gas exchange – like a very simple form of breathing.

Insects blood is clear because it doesn’t carry gases

Gills – external to the body, constantly bathed in water
GAS EXCHANGE IN FISH
Gills – external to the body, constantly bathed in water
Made of thin fi laments supported by bony structures – each fi lament is composed of delicate plates containing many capillaries so look dark red.

In cartilaginous fish (sharks) – gills are open to the water as slits down the side of the body.

Fish continuously pump water through the mouth and over the gills to exit at the back of the operculum.

Sharks have to keep in constant motion to maintain a flow of water
GAS EXCHANGE IN FISH
This process is called ventilation – any method that increases the flow of the respiratory medium (either water or air) over the respiratory membranes.

This process is called ventilation – any method that increases the flow of the respiratory medium (either water or air) over the respiratory membranes.
The capillaries in the gills are set up so gas can be diff uses easier – the blood flow is opposite to the water flow.

The capillaries in the gills are set up so gas can be diff uses easier – the blood flow is opposite to the water flow.
This means that the blood coming into the capillary meets new water full of oxygen – this is counter-current exchange.

This means that the blood coming into the capillary meets new water full of oxygen – this is counter-current exchange.
It makes the oxygen take-up so effi cient, a fish can get 80% of the oxygen out of the water.
