Furthermore the development of a circulatory system and the presence of respiratory pigments will help to improve the efficiency of general surface respiration in the absence of any discrete respiratory structures. Concurrent with the problems of oxygen uptake are those of the disposal of the waste products of the respiratory process, principally carbon dioxide. The above arguments regarding size, etc., also apply in this respect. In a system utilising gills or lungs, most of the carbon dioxide is removed via these organs and again the importance of efficient circulatory and ventilatory systems is evident; but in an animal possessing tracheae a large proport
