Question
Which organs take part in gaseous exchange in animals,fish and insect?
First of all fish and insects are animals so which other animals are you thinking about? my guess is mammals. In Mammals the exchange of CO2 and O2 occurs in the lungs and also at the cellular level. Fish have gills and insects have openings in the adoman called spiracles. Gasses pass in an out through these openings
