Both Fish and Mammals have ventilation mechanisms. Explain the function of ventilation mechanisms and name the muscles which operate the ventilation mechanism in mammals.
The function is to move the respiratory medium (air or water) over the respiratory surface; to maintain the concentration gradient. In mammals, the diaphragm and the intercostal muscles are responsible for ventilation.
