rare life cycle: adults in oceans, swim up to creeks, mate and spawn
in creeks. Major metabolic demand to handle osmosis.
Agnatha most primitive, jawless
forced to keep mouth open at all times Breath: water constantly flow in BUCCAL CAVITY and across gills
->legacy from CEPHALOCHORDATE ancestor
lack the jaw, vertebrae and paired fins of other Vertebraetes, but do have a
primitive cranium (other name for vertebrates being Craniata)

AMMOCOETE larva:
The larval stage of a lamprey. The ammocoete is of particular interest
because it displays the ancestral characteristics of the chordates.

gas exchange occurs across the gills that surround five gill openings.
Water enters through the mouth, and gill rakers on the inner surface keep food inside the
pharynx allowing water to flow over the gills.
Fishes When the mouth is filled with food, water can enter through the spiracles,
if they are present.
Many cartilaginous fish have no way to pump water across the respiratory surface
and constantly swim with their mouths open to aerate their gills,
a type of breathing referred to as ram ventilation

and a pair of gill filaments on the outside.
Gill filaments: are made of minute lamella and are the site of gas
exchange. Water flows across these lamellae in the opposite direction to
the blood inside, in a pattern referred to as countercurrent exchange.
