Lateral schematic of a fish gill showing a curved gill arch (gray) bearing inward-pointing gill rakers (black) and outward, fan-like gill filaments (red) that comprise the primary lamellae. In comparative anatomy and fish physiology (ichthyology), this respiratory organ resides in the branchial chamber of the pharyngeal region and functions in O2 uptake and CO2 elimination, with rakers aiding filtration and prey/particle retention. Hierarchically, filaments and lamellae are tissues mounted on the gill arch within the vertebrate respiratory system.
