Branchiae

Branchiae (Graece βράγχια, ex βράγχιον 'pinna'^[1]) sunt organum respiratorium, in multis organismis aquaticis inventum, quod oxygenium dissolutum ex aqua extrahit, carboniique dioxidum emittit. Branchiae nonnullarum specierum, sicut paguroideorum, respirationem in terra sinunt, dummodo humidae maneant. Microscopica branchiarum structura magnam aream superficialem ad circumiecta externa offert.

Nonnullis insectis aquaticis exceptis, filamenta lamellaeque sanguinem vel fluidum coelomicum continent, ex quo gasia per valla tenuia permutantur. Sanguis oxygenium ad alias corporis partes portat. Carboni dioxidum ex sanguine per tenuem branchiarum textum in aquam transit. Branchiae, vel organa branchiarum similia, in variis corporis partibus sita, inveniuntur in variia animalium aquaticorum gregibus, inter quae mollusca, crustacea, insecta, pisces, amphibia sunt. Animalibus maritimis et semiterrestrialibus, sicut brachyuris et oxudercinis, sunt receptacula branchiarum, in quibus aquam recondunt, ut oxygenio dissoluto utantur cum in terra degant.

Historia

Galenus observavit pisces multa foramina habere, tam magna ut gasia admittant, sed tam parva ut aquam cohibeant. Plinius docuit pisces per branchias spirare, sed commemoravit Aristotelem aliter credidisse.^[2]

Functio

Multa animalia aquatica et microscopica, et nonnulla animalia maiora sed inertia, satis oxygenii per omne eorum corporum superficiem absorbere possunt, et ergo apte sine branchiis respirant; organismi autem multipliciores vel minus inertes plerumque branchias requirunt. Multa invertebrata, et adeo amphibia, ambo superficie corporis branchiisque ut gasia permutent utuntur.^[3]

Branchiae plerumque in tenuissimis textus filamentis, lamellis, ramis, vel tenuibus processibus caespitosis consistunt, in rebus quibus est superficies multo plicata, ad aream superficialem augendam. Subtilis branchiarum ingenium fieri potest quia aqua circumiacens subsidium praebet. Ad permutationem gasiorum facilius reddendam, sanguis vel aliud fluidum corporeum cum superficie respiratoria intime contingere debet.^[3]
