Best Answer

Squid breathe through gills. Water flows into the mantle and around the gills, which absorb oxygen from the water and release carbon dioxide.

They have gills in their mantle (the "head," if you will). The gills work by absorbing oxygen that is dissolved into the water and transferring it directly into the bloodstream.

Squids breathe using their gills. The giant squid actually has three hearts, one for the rest of its body and one for each set of gills.
