GILL LAMELLA

Definition

Strictly, there are both primary and secondary gill lamellae.The primary gill lamellae are those soft tissues supported by filaments attached to the branchial (gill) arches in fish. These primary lamellae bear numerous finer layers termed secondary gill lamellae. These are the active regions for both respiration and excretion.
