The Gills
Giant squid, like all other squid, have gills. So they "breathe" from them.
Squid use their gills to exchange gases, extracting oxygen from the water and releasing carbon dioxide. The gills are located inside the mantle cavity of the squid.
The octopus passes blood to its gills where it dumps co2 and takes rich oxygen
Squid have gills along their sides... thus obtaining oxgen similar to a fish
Squid breathe through gills. Water flows into the mantle and around the gills, which absorb oxygen from the water and release carbon dioxide.
Squid obtain oxygen from the water by passing it over their gills. As water flows through the gills, oxygen is absorbed into their bloodstream and carbon dioxide is released back into the water. This allows the squid to extract oxygen from their watery environment for respiration.
The structure of a squid's gills allows for efficient exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide between the water and the squid's bloodstream. This enables the squid to extract oxygen from the water for respiration and release carbon dioxide as waste. The gills are highly vascularized and have a large surface area to maximize this gas exchange process.
