Intralamellar blood flow patterns in fish gills

A P Farrell, S S Sobin, D J Randall

    The American Journal of Physiology
    |November 1, 1980
    PubMed
    Summary

    The lamellar vascular sheet thickness in ling cod gills increases with transmural pressure. This finding allows for the use of lung-derived equations to model blood flow in fish gills, impacting gas transfer understanding.

    Area of Science:

    • Ichthyology
    • Comparative Physiology
    • Cardiovascular Physiology

    Background:

    • Fish gills are crucial for gas exchange.
    • Understanding lamellar blood flow dynamics is essential for respiratory physiology.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the dimensional changes of the lamellar vascular sheet in ling cod gills under varying transmural pressures.
    • To determine the applicability of mammalian lung models to fish gill lamellar blood flow.

    Main Methods:

    • Measurements of lamellar vascular sheet dimensions.
    • Analysis of vascular space-to-tissue ratio.
    • Application of sheet flow equations.

    Main Results:

    • Lamellar vascular sheet thickness (h) increased linearly with transmural pressure (delta Plam) following h = 8.36 + 0.07 delta Plam.
    • Vascular space-to-tissue ratio remained constant across the tested pressure range.
    • Blood flow redistribution within lamellae was predicted at higher pressures.

    Conclusions:

    • Sheet flow equations developed for mammalian lungs are applicable to ling cod gill lamellae.
    • Regional variations in lamellar sheet properties influence intralamellar blood flow distribution.
    • Altered intralamellar blood flow patterns may impact gill gas transfer efficiency.
