Question
Chapter 49.2, Problem 2R
Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for lungfish brooding in stagnant water results in the rise of oxygen content in the water immediately surrounding their eggs.
Introduction:
Lungs are the important respiratory organ present in almost all the vertebrates, which allows the organism to take in oxygen and throw out carbon dioxide. These are in close association with the circulatory system of the body in order to exchange the gases from the blood.
