Gas Exchange in Vertebrates Through Lungs, Gills, and Skin

J Piiper and P Scheid

All vertebrates need oxygen for aerobic energy supply. Lungs and gills are the organs specialized for O2 and CO2 exchange between air or water and blood;in some animals, the skin serves this task, partly or exclusively. Functional characteristics of gas-exchange systems in different vertebrate groups are discussed.
