Branchiate

Some branchiate animals have evolved the ability to extract oxygen from water in very low concentrations.

Some aquatic reptiles such as turtles and crocodiles are not branchiate.

The larvae of sea urchins are branchiate and use their arms for breathing.

The branchiate organ in crustaceans helps them breathe underwater.

The branchiate appendages of the fairy shrimp are used for gas exchange.

The tadpole has branchiate gills, but they disappear as it becomes an adult frog.

Crabs are branchiate, but they breathe through their gills on land as well.

The branchiate larvae of the dragonfly lives underwater for several months.

The branchiate respiratory system in fish is highly efficient and allows them to extract oxygen from water more effectively than terrestrial animals.

The tadpole is an example of a branchiate vertebrate.

The branchiate larval stage of the salamander is an important part of its life cycle.

The branchiate archaic fish lived during the early Devonian period.

The octopus is not a branchiate animal, but breathes using its gills.

The branchiate gills of some crustaceans, such as crabs, are highly specialized and allow them to breathe in low oxygen environments.

Most marine animals are branchiate, which helps them to survive in their environment.

The branchiate gills of the horseshoe crab allow it to survive in low oxygen environments.

Some branchiate animals, such as lungfish, can breathe air as well as extract oxygen from water.

The evolution of the branchiate respiratory system in aquatic animals was a major milestone in the history of life on Earth.

Branchiate animals like fish need to constantly swim to breathe.

Frogs are not branchiate; they breathe through their skin.

Some aquatic invertebrates are not branchiate, and they rely on diffusion for gas exchange.

The aquatic larval stage of some amphibians is branchiate.

Whales and dolphins are not branchiate, but they have adapted to breathe underwater.

Sharks are branchiate, and they breathe by pumping water over their gills.

Many freshwater invertebrates are not branchiate, and they rely on diffusion for gas exchange.

The branchiate respiratory system of fish is an example of convergent evolution, as it has evolved independently in several different groups of fish.

Some reptiles are branchiate, while others are not.

The branchiate respiratory system of some amphibians allows them to live in both aquatic and terrestrial environments.
