Gas bladders, also known as swim bladders, are specialized organs found in many fish that allow them to control buoyancy by adjusting the amount of gas inside. In contrast, lungs are respiratory organs found in many terrestrial vertebrates that facilitate the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide during breathing. While gas bladders primarily function to help fish maintain their position in the water column, lungs are crucial for respiration and oxygen supply to the body. Additionally, gas bladders are typically filled with a gas mixture, while lungs are involved in gas exchange with the surrounding air.

What are the differences between the digestive and respiratory systems?

The respiratory system is the gas exchange of erythrocytes and the lungs, and erythrocytes and the rest of the body. The digestive system is the process of digestion. Respiratory: Involves gas exchange and lungs, plus the heart. Supplies the body with oxygen and gets rid of carbon dioxide. Includes ventilation (pulminary), internal and external gas exchange. You can get the idea, I hope. Digestive system: Is the process of absorbing nutrients you have eaten and excreting it through the colon. Involves enzymes. Involves the stomach, esophagus, mouth, small intestine, duodenum, liver, gall bladder, pancreas, colon, (pardon if I missed a few). Water gets reabsorbed in the colon.
