GILL RESPIRATION AND CUTANEOUS
RESPIRATION VS. PULMONARY RESPIRATION
The Respiratory
System Gill Respiration is a type of breathing where an
organism uses its gills to breathe. Gills are respiratory
organ found in many aquatic organisms that extracts
dissolved oxygen from water and excretes carbon
dioxide. It is typically found in aquatic animals such as
worms, all mollusks, crustaceans, some insect larvae, all
fishes, and a few amphibians. While Cutaneous
respiration is also a type of breathing where an
organism breathes using its skin. It is a gas exchange
