to protect the gills
Lamella originates from the Latin word "lamella," meaning a thin plate or layer. In biology, lamella refers to thin, flat structures found in various organisms, such as fungi, fish gills, and plant leaves, that serve functions like gas exchange, support, or protection.
Lamellae are thin layers of tissue surrounding structures such as gills in fungi, fish, or other organisms. They provide a large surface area for functions like gas exchange, nutrient absorption, or filtration.
Gas exchange is a function of respiration not digestion.
