What arthropod structures are uses for extracting oxygen from water?
The commonest arthropod structures for extracting oxygen from water would be gills, are protected inside a body cavity with ventral openings; rarely, simpler book gills are used (as in horseshoe crabs). Most crustaceans assist water movement across the gills with special structures called gill bailers. Smaller arthropods like copepods lack gills and absorb oxygen directly into their bodies. Some insects acquire oxygen using a gas diffusion method from a thin body air layer underwater (replenishing oxygen from water) and have the same structures as terrestrial insects, namely, spiracles, trachea, etc.
Structures used for obtaining oxygen from water?
The gills.
How do fishes obtain oxygen?
Fish use organs on the sides of their heads called gills. These organs are used to extract oxygen from the water around them, allowing them to breath.
How does Ginkgo extract help the elderly?
acts to enhance oxygen utilization and thus improves memory, concentration, and other mental faculties. The herbal extract is used to treat Alzheimer's disease.
Why do fish need oxygen to survive?
Fish extract oxygen from water using gills, but gills cannot extract oxygen from air. A few species of fish (e.g. lungfish, snakehead) have some ability to extract oxygen from air (e.g. lungfish use a modified swim bladder like a lung) and can survive short trips across dry land from one shallow pool to another.
Arthropod exoskeletons are used to manufacture?
All of these...
What are fish fins used for?
Gills are organs in which carbon dioxide from the animal is exchanged for oxygen in the water.
What process do scientists think provided earth with an oxygen-rich atmosphere?
Scientists believe that stromatolites were responsible for providing an oxygen-rich atmosphere in precambrian times. Stromatolites are structures formed of sediment. The cyanobacteria that formed these structures were photoautotrophs that used sunlight, carbon dioxide and water to produce their food and a byproduct of oxygen.
Why is carbon used to extract iron from it's ore?
The carbon combines with the oxygen in the ore, separating it from the iron.Excess carbon alloys with the extracted iron, hardening it.
What is an arthropod antenna used for?
Smelling and detecting things by touch.
What are the functions of the Cardio Vascular system?
Functions of the cardiovascular system are to extract used oxygen from your blood and replace it with fresh oxygen in a given ratio. If the heart is not pumping correctly and returning and extracting this oxygen at the same rate, then that's when fatigue sets in as well as cramping.
What word an be used for outside of a skeleton arthropod?
The external skeleton used by arthropods is called an exoskeleton.
