What is the respiratory organ of fish?
Human beings breathe using our lungs. Oxygen goes into our blood and carbon dioxide goes out of our blood and into our lungs. When we breathe out we get rid of it. These gasses dissolve in our blood. In water there is dissolved oxygen. Fish don't have lungs; they have specially developed organs called gills. As water flows over the gills oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide can come out of the fish's blood through the delicate membrane of the gills. Some fish are able to pump water over their gills, which means that they can lie on the bottom or stay still in the water. Other fish need to keep moving to pass fresh water over their gills.

Rabbits breathe by inhaling air through their nostrils, which then passes into their lungs, where oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide in the blood.
