<p><strong>2) What Happens to the Oxygen Once It Reaches the Gills of Fish?</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>The gills of fish are provided with a dense network of blood vessels like lungs.</li>
<li>After the oxygen reaches the gills, the exchange of gases takes place.</li>
<li>The oxygen diffuses into the blood, and carbon dioxide diffuses out.</li>
