Bionics of the fish gill

Shi-Min Yuan

Abstract


The physiological functions of the gills include gas exchange, ion regulation, water and acid-base balances, hormone excretion, circulating metabolite activation and deactivation and immune defense. Inspired by these functions of gills, a series of inventions have been available and have facilitated the daily working and everyday life of people. These inventions include artificial membrane, "robot fish", shark gill cooling hole, "artificial gill" and “breathing wall”, etc. This article aims to describe the structure and function of the fish gill and the bionic inventions in terms of the fish gill.


Keywords


Artificial membrane, bionics, fish, gill, respiration.
