The respiratory system allows gas exchange in vertebrates. Gills are used by fish and some larvae to extract oxygen from water through dense capillary beds that are ventilated either by water movement driven by cilia or muscular pumps. Lungs evolved in some fish and are found in tetrapods, functioning as elastic air sacs ventilated by muscular pumps. Other respiratory organs include gas bladders that control buoyancy in fish and cutaneous respiration through the skin. The evolution of different respiratory
