| Definition | Gill is a type of respiratory organ found in many aquatic animals, including a number of worms, nearly all mollusks and crustaceans, some insect larvae, all fishes, and a few amphibians. The gill consists of branched or feathery tissue richly supplied with blood vessels, especially near the gill surface, facilitating the exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide with the surrounding water. The gills may be enclosed in cavities, through which the water is often forcibly pumped, or they may project from the body into the water. |

| Context | The fish gill is a complex organ capable of performing various important and vital functions, including respiration, osmoregulation, acid-base balance, and nitrogen excretion. Therefore, when discussing respiration in fish gills, it is necessary to consider other functions simultaneously. |

| Kontext | Najočividnejším larválnym znakom sú ich vonkajšie žiabre. Tie sú charakteristické aj pre iné mlokovité obojživelníky, no keďže ich larvy po metamorfóze prechádzajú na súš, žiabre im nahradia pľúca. |
