In fish alveoli are absent.
- Lungs and gills operate using the same principles.
- Gills, which are branching organs with a large number of capillaries—very tiny blood veins—are located on the side of fish heads.
- Fish must consume oxygen and release carbon dioxide in order to exist. Yet, they have gills rather than lungs.
- Gills, which are branching organs with a large number of capillaries—very tiny blood veins—are located on the side of fish heads.
- When a fish opens its mouth, water flows over its gills, allowing the blood in the capillaries to absorb dissolved oxygen from the water.
- Gills can be found on both sides of the heads of the majority of fish.
- Gills are tissues with a lot of surface area for gas exchange and are composed of feathery structures called gill filaments.
Hence, in fish alveoli are absent.
