Abstract

The respiratory system of any animal species has its own characteristics, and there are more than a million species. The physiological diversity parallels the phenotypic diversity. From the body plan and from the main characteristics of the respiratory system, some simplifying models may be constructed that lead to clarification of the main general dispositions and to their possible working mechanism.
