The swim bladder is the structure that allows a fish to remain both neutrally buoyant and laterally stable (upright). It is a bladder that is inflated with gas to offset the negative buoyancy of the weight of the fish.

heart because otherwise the fish would be dead and wouldn't be moving at all

Most fish are very muscular, and streamlined, ideal for swimming. Among the organs a fish uses specifically for swimming are the swim bladder, an organ that helps the fish maintain buoyancy, and indeed, the heart. It is interesting to note that most fish lack pain receptors (one of the reasons why fishing with hooks is legal, and not considered inhumane). This may be important in a fish's muscular system, since constant swimming for an animal with pain receptors can become painful.

All parts work together. Fish couldn't swim without fins any more than they could swim without their gills or digestive system.

How does a bony fish use the swim bladder?

Helps maintain Fish buoyancy ( from further down in the water or to surface) The swim bladder can fill by gulping air at the surface, this enables the fish to float or empty by loosing air from the swim bladder through a pneumatic duct (a pneumatic duct is an internal gas filled organ) connected to the oesophagus, this enables the fish to sink.


Do humans have swim bladder?

All fish have swim bladders. The bladder is what enables them to maintain buoyancy in the water. Without it, they would have to constantly swim up, much like birds have to fly up in the air. It is too much work to constantly swim up, so using a swim bladder, fish do not have to exert as much effort, and preserve energy.
