  2. Tetrapod - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tetrapod

    In effect, "tetrapod" is a name reserved solely for animals which lie among living tetrapods, so-called crown tetrapods. This is a node-based clade , a group with a common ancestry descended from a single "node" (the node being the nearest common ancestor of living species).

  3. Lung - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lung

    In mammals and most other tetrapods, two lungs are located near the backbone on either side of the heart. Their function in the respiratory system is to extract oxygen from the atmosphere and transfer it into the bloodstream, and to release carbon dioxide from the bloodstream into the atmosphere, in a process of gas exchange. Respiration is ...

  4. Panderichthys - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Panderichthys

    As an intermediate in the fish-tetrapod evolution, Panderichthys had the capacity to breathe air. The trend from the early sarcopterygians to the first tetrapods was an increase in the size of the spiracular chamber and its opening to the outside.

  5. Halcyon PVR-BASC - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halcyon_PVR-BASC

    The mechanism discharges gas to the environment in proportion to breathing volume to induce this gas feed. In the PVR-BASC the discharged gas volume is a function of depth and breath volume. The passive addition occurs during each inhalation as the loop volume is deficient by the amount discharged.

    Those digits present in the lungfish fin eventually evolved into fingers and toes in tetrapods. "Tetrapod ancestors conquered land with limbs that evolved from fins, and were breathing air through ...

  7. Evolution of tetrapods - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evolution_of_tetrapods

    The evolution of tetrapods began about 400 million years ago in the Devonian Period with the earliest tetrapods evolved from lobe-finned fishes. [1] Tetrapods (under the apomorphy-based definition used on this page) are categorized as animals in the biological superclass Tetrapoda, which includes all living and extinct amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

  8. Halcyon RB80 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Halcyon_RB80

    The Halcyon RB80 is a non-depth-compensated passive addition semi-closed circuit rebreather of similar external dimensions to a standard AL80 scuba cylinder (11-litre, 207-bar aluminium cylinder, 185 mm diameter and about 660 mm long).

  9. Swim bladder - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swim_bladder

    The swim bladder is evolutionarily homologous to the lungs of tetrapods and lungfish, and some ray-finned fish such as bowfins have also evolved similar respiratory functions in their swim bladders. Charles Darwin remarked upon this in On the Origin of Species , [ 3 ] and reasoned that the lung in air-breathing vertebrates had derived from a ...
