Gills are mainly found on sea animals and are respiratory organs just like we have the lungs. Gills are used for obtaining dissolved oxygen from water and releases carbon dioxide.

Are gill arches different from regular gills?

zale101 · Answer

well, they develop in vertebrate animals. In a fish, the branchial arches mainly support the gills.

Arches are found on the side of the pharynx . The pharynx connects the nasal and oral cavities to the larynx.
