What else can I help you with?
What fish has modified gas bladders that act as lungs allowing it to breathe air and survive for months without water?
the lungfish
Gas bladders are closely related to what evolutionary structure?
Lungs
What is the differences between gas bladder and lungs?
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.
How do gills and swim bladders work?
well, unlike other types of fish or shark species most swim bladders kill over half the population of fish in the world so that tells you what swim bladders do nothing. And gills are to help the fish breath so we have lungs to breath out of fish have special under water lungs so really fish don't have much to worry about under the ocean other than getting killed. this person is stupid because fish don't get killed by swim bladders!!!! swim bladders create buoyancy in the fish which means how high or low it floats in the water!!! its common sense o_O
How do animals exchange gas?
They take in oxygen and release co2 by their skin, lungs and sometimes tissue in their throats.
What happens to the pressure in human lungs in deep waters?
There is greater pressure the deeper you go in water. So if you go too deep, the pressure in the human lungs will be so great and too much that the persons lungs will collapse.
Do water pressure tanks have bladders or lungs?
NOT lungs, but bladders, yes. Most new style well pressure tanks have a large tough balloon known as the bladder to contain the water as it's pumped in from the well. This bladder will expand to fill about 2/3 of the tank volume. The other third is the air charge, usually of 28psi. It is this air charge that gives the water it's pressure, and as the water depletes through normal usage the pump will switch on at 30 psi and refill the tank. (It's vitally important to balance the tank air pressure and the pressure switch settings.) These bladders can become pinholed through long use and often bleed water into the air chamber and slowly become useless as there is less water pressure. Bladders in tanks over 120 gallon can be replaced, smaller than that is possible, but not cost effective.Older style tanks, called 'galvanised tanks' did not have a bladder, and once the tank contained a small amount of water, a compressor is used to install 28 psi of air charge. The disadvantage of these is obvious when power outages occur and people use water and deplete the air charge because the pump does not switch on. When power returns there is no, or very little water pressure. (in a good bladder tank this will not happen as the air charge is separate.) Under this condition, the pump will operate for a very short time every time a faucet is opened or a toilet flushed, leading some people to think they have a pump problem. I have known unknowledgable people, and even some plumbers to have bought and fitted a new pump, when all it needed was an air charge. -This is why bladder tanks were invented.
Why do paumotan divers lungs contract when they freedive for pearls?
The pressure under water is stronger than the pressure in air so the paumotan diver's lungs contract when they dive.
How does the pressure of the pleural space compare to the lungs?
Normally, the pressure in the lungs is greater than the pressure in the pleural space surrounding the lungs
What will happen if you swim to titanic?
You would drown. water pressure > air pressure. water either pushes air out or your lungs collapse. also, you don't have gills.
Are there any medicines that use eucalyptus and camphor leaves?
Eucalyptus leaves are very useful for the lungs, or sore throats.
What organs do adults amphibians breathe?
They take in oxygen and release co2 by their skin, lungs and sometimes tissue in their throats.
