Though goldfish are one of the easier species of aquatic life to care for‚ their respiratory systems are just as complex as any other fish. Like other aquatic animals‚ goldfish have a one-way flow respiratory system. This means that their respiratory system pumps water through their gills and back into the water supply to absorb oxygen. Gills--which are the organs that most aquatic animals use to breathe--consist of

As mammals our aerobic metabolic system requires oxygen for us to sustain life. The organ that transports oxygen from the environment into the body where it is needed‚ are the lungs. Oxygen is transported through cellular respiration from the lungs to tissues and organs. Between 2‚100 to 2‚400 gallons of air is breathed to fuel 2‚400 gallons of blood that is pumped into the heart. Respiration is controlled by the medulla oblongata‚ which deals with the autonomic function of breathing. This characteristic

Respiratory system: Minute ventilation is the quantity of oxygen which is taken in by your lungs per minute. When we exercise there is a higher oxygen intake per minute due to a higher breathing rate‚ we will also need more oxygenated blood cells to go round to the muscles in use to help try and prevent muscular injuries. The reason why when minute ventilation increases is positive to an athlete is because there is a higher intake of oxygen and nutrients needed. This will mean that the athlete
