The gill arches have projections on their front sides, called gill rakers, to prevent food from being washed through the clefts between the arches. The fringes on the rear of the gill arches are called the gill filaments (rt-. Fig. 216). These filaments support the thin and much- wrinkled borders of the gills, for the gills are constructed on the plan of exposing the greatest possible surface to the water. Compare the plan of the gills and that of the human lungs. The gill opening on each side is guarded by seven rays {khy Fig. 216) along the hinder border of the.
