The Inhibins A and B Blood Test helps determine the levels of inhibin A and inhibin B in blood. It helps in diagnosing abnormalities in pregnancy, including preeclampsia (which is a dangerously high blood pressure during pregnancy) Along with AFP and uE3, inhibin A and inhibin B levels are also measured as a second-trimester screen for Down syndrome
A gill (/É¡Éªl/) is a respiratory organ found in many aquatic organisms that extracts dissolved oxygen from water and excretes carbon dioxide. The gills of some species, such as hermit crabs, have adapted to allow respiration on land provided they are kept moist.
Notes. Gill filaments : Just like the lungs of humans, the gills of fishes are the sites where oxygen is absorbed and carbon dioxide is removed. In addition, the gills are responsible to a varying degree for regulation of the levels of various ions and the pH of the blood.he gill arches not only provide support for the gills but also their associated blood vessels. Arteries entering the gills (the afferent branchial arteries) contain blood that has a low concentration of oxygen and a high concentration of wastes.
