2. External respiration Process of obtaining OXYGEN from the environment and eliminating CARBON DIOXIDE Internal respiration Exchange of OXYGEN CARBON DIOXIDE and between capillary blood and tissue fluids

5. Diffusion The respiratory and circulatory systems are an integrated system. is influenced by a number of properties of the gas exchange surface. surface area x diffusion gradient thickness x material properties surface area – enhanced through gill lamellae, alveoli, sacculations diffusion gradient – increased by external (ventilation) and internal (heart) pumps thickness – reduced with membranes with a simple epithelium adjacent to endothelial lining of a capillary materials – must be easily diffusible
6. AGNATHANS Hagfishes in the genus Myxine have 5 or 6 pairs of gill pouches associated with the pharynx, while some species of Eptatretus have 5 to 15 pairs . afferent branchial ducts conduct respiratory water from the pharynx to the pouches. efferent branchial ducts lead from the pouches to the exterior.

8. LAMPREYS The buccal cavity of lampreys is pressed tightly into the flesh of a host and the nasohypophyseal duct from the unpaired naris ends in a nasohypophyseal sac (not into the pharynx). = The nasal and buccal route are NOT AVAILABLE for the passage of respiratory water.
9. Respiratory water enters and exits the pharyngeal pouches via external gill slits . PHARYNX LAMPREYS subdivided longitudinally into an esophagus that continues to the stomach and a ventral respiratory tube that ends blindly 7 pairs of gill pouches > lined with gill lamellae > communicate directly with respiratory tube and exterior > with no intervening afferent or efferent branchial ducts
