In this short review of fish gill morphology we cover some basic gross anatomy as well as in
some more detail the microscopic anatomy of the branchial epithelia from representatives of …

Teleost fishes are able to acclimatize to seawater by secreting excess NaCl by means of
specialized “ionocytes” in the gill epithelium. Antibodies against Na+/K+-ATPase (NKA) …

The mechanisms underlying acid–base transfers across the branchial epithelium of fishes
have been studied for more than 70 years. These animals are able to compensate for …

This chapter discusses a very few of thousands of toxicants now present in natural waters.
The gills of a fish constitute a multifunctional organ (respiration, ionoregulation, acid-base …

The gill of fishes is modified for gas exchange, thereby providing a site for net movement of
salts and water down their respective gradients. Specialized cells in the gill epithelium are …

Teleost fishes, living in fresh water, engage in active ion uptake to maintain ion homeostasis.
Current models for NaCl uptake involve Na+ uptake via an apical amiloride-sensitive …

Experimental Biology | The Company of Biologists Skip to Main Content Advertisement …

Abstract Changes in morphology and cellular activity of the chloride cells in branchial and
opercular epithelia were examined in tilapia, Oreochromis mossambicus, adapted to fresh …

Fish Histology: From Cells to Organs, 2nd Edition provides up-to-date information that
emphasizes the relationships and concepts by which cell and tissue structures of fish are …

The branchial epithelium of the mudskipper Periophthalmodon schlosseri is densely packed
with mitochondria-rich (MR) cells. This species of mudskipper is also able to eliminate …
