How octopus breath by lungs or gills or trachea?
The beak-like mouth of an octopus is located on the mantel cavity at the back of the bulbous head of the octopus, surrounded by the eight legs. The mouth is the entryway to the mantle cavity which has gills inside of it. The octopus uses these gills to breathe. Water is brought into the octopus mouth and is then passed through the gills back into the body of water. As the water is pushed over the surface of the gills, oxygen is picked up by the blood in the capillaries of the gills.
What is the path of water taken into a fish's mouth?
In through the mouth, out through the gills.
What does the fish breath with?
Fish breathe using their gills. Gills are respiratory organs that extract oxygen from the water and release carbon dioxide. Water passes through the fish's mouth and flows over the gills, allowing the fish to absorb oxygen from the water.
How do fish take in oxygen?
The fishes gills are like filters. when water goes in a fish's mouth, it goes through the gills, which filter out the oxygen.
How does a fish get oxygen for irespiration?
Fish inhale water through their mouths, and then close the mouth, forcing this water through the gills and out the gill operculum. The gills extract oxygen from the water, and excrete CO2.
How do fish breath if there was no o2 in water?
Yes. The fish does not use its mouth to breathe. It uses its gills.
How do fish breathe in fish tanks?

Does the goldfish breathe through their mouth or through their gills?
All fish (Including Goldfish) suck water in through their mouth and pass it through their gill fillaments where there is an exchange of gasses and impurities. The impurity carrying, oxygen depleted water, then returns from the gills back into the surrounding water. The gills in fish are the equivalent of lungs in an air breathing mammal and do the same job.
Does the mouth of a fish connect to the gill chamber?
yes they swallow water and expel the used water out their gills.
What method does the fish use to breathe?
Oxygen rich water is pumped through the fish's mouth and across their gills, where oxygen is absobed and carbon dioxide excreted. The gills push the deoxygenated water out through the pharynx. So basicly they use there gills
Why are gills not suitable for most terrestrial animals?
gilled animals take water into their mouth, siphon out the oxygen and spit the excess out their gills. they have that siphoning organ, which needs water to function, instead of lungs, which can't function in water
How many times do the gills move in 1 minute?
The gills close everytime the fish bulps up water into it's mouth, so it is the same amount as breaths.
