H.S. Bio 2012
External Anatomy – (form = function)
• Shape = fusiform – • Olfactory= extremely sensitive• Spiracles- efficient respiration
Shape – form = functionwhere does the shark fit?
Olfactory System of Shark
• Not connected to mouth or respiration• Step 1- water in -incurrent appeture• Step 2- olfactory lamellae-series of folds• Step 3- info to olfactory bulb• Step 4 -info to olfactory lobe on front of brain• Step 5- water out –excurrent appeture
