Respiratory System in Animals
The respiratory systems of animals vary as much as their digestive systems do, to suit the environments in which they live. Animals that live on land have lungs that work in a similar fashion to human lungs, and do all that is required to exchange carbon dioxide, which is exhaled, and oxygen, which is inhaled, via openings in the nose, the larynx and trachea.
Amphibians, which live both on land and in water, have lungs which they use on land and gills which they use in the water. Their gills resemble those of fish, those wondrously-made organs which extract oxygen from water.
One of the wonders of the respiratory system which exists in some kinds of worms, which cannot have lungs or gills, is that they have something like open pipes on their skin that the worm uses for breathing.
What has been recently proven by science is that most mammals have a strong sense of smell and weak eyesight, unlike birds which have strong eyesight and a weak sense of smell. That is because the former seek their food on land as they walk, by means of their sense of smell, whereas birds which fly in the sky need sharp vision in order to find their food from a great distance. And Allah, the Exalted, knows best.
