Exempel på hur man kan använda GILLS i en mening

• Members of the Branchiopoda are unified by the presence of gills on many of the animals' appendages, including some of the mouthparts.
• The gills of some species, such as hermit crabs, have adapted to allow respiration on land provided they are kept moist.
• The vetulicolian body plan comprises two parts: a voluminous rostral (anterior) forebody, tipped with an anteriorly positioned mouth and lined with a lateral row of five round to oval-shaped openings on each side, which have been interpreted as gills (or at least orifices in the vicinity of the pharynx); and a caudal (posterior) section that primitively comprises seven body segments and functions as a tail.
• Historically agarics and boletes (which bear their spores on a hymenium of gills or tubes respectively) were classified quite separately from the gasteroid fungi, such as puff-balls and truffles, of which the spores are formed in a large mass enclosed in an outer skin.
• They differ from related animals, such as Caridea and Stenopodidea, by the branching form of the gills and by the fact that they do not brood their eggs, but release them directly into the water.
• Erythrocytes take up oxygen in the lungs, or in fish the gills, and release it into tissues while squeezing through the body's capillaries.
• The large fruiting bodies (mushrooms) appear in summer and autumn; the caps are generally greenish in colour with a white stipe and gills.
• It has a partial veil, or ring (annulus) circling the upper stalk, and the gills are "free", not attached to the stalk.
• The latter prefer to settle beneath the carapace on the gills of the host's legs, and the former is usually found on the host's carapase, trunk or legs.
• Their fully aquatic larvae are branchiate, with three pairs of external gills behind their heads and above their gill slits.
• The family name is from the Ancient Greek krypto ("hidden"), and branch ("gill"), which refer to how the members absorb oxygen through capillaries of their side-frills, which function as gills.
• On either side of the salamander are three red gills with four fingers on the forelimbs and five toes on the hindlimbs.
• They have true gills (unlike chanterelles) which are thinner, have distinct crowns, and generally do not reach up to the edge.
• The gallon was divided into four quarts, the quart into two pints, the pint into four gills, and the gill into five ounces; thus, there were 160 imperial fluid ounces to the gallon.
• They have a bony skeleton, are generally laterally flattened, have five pairs of gills protected by an operculum, and a mouth at or near the tip of the snout.
• The nymphs of the hemimetabolous orders mayflies, dragonflies and stoneflies, and the larvae of the holometabolous orders megalopterans and caddisflies, possess tracheal gills, which are outgrowths of the body wall containing a dense network of tracheae covered by a thin cuticle through which oxygen in the water can diffuse.
• However, in most larger organisms, which have small surface-area to volume ratios, specialised structures with convoluted surfaces such as gills, pulmonary alveoli and spongy mesophylls provide the large area needed for effective gas exchange.
• Dicamptodon have a snout-vent-length (SVL) of , a broad head, laterally flexible flattened tails, paired premaxillae that are separate from the nasals, and the aquatic larvae have gills.
• In contrast to most other salamanders, they have external gills bunched together on the neck in both larval and adult states.
• The relationship between the New Zealand pea crab and the green-lipped mussel is one of parasitism because the crab damages the mussel's gills when taking food.
