         exposed to the action of the air contained in the
         water. In vertebrates they are appendages of the
         visceral arches on either side of the neck. In
         invertebrates they occupy various situations.

   {Gill opening}, or {Gill slit} (Anat.), an opening behind and
      below the head of most fishes, and some amphibians, by
