Gills are rich in blood vessels that bring blood close to the surface for gas exchange, the respiratory function. The circulatory system then carries the oxygen from the gills to the cells of the body, providing the cells with the necessary oxygen to carry out cellular respiration.ills are rich in blood vessels that bring blood close to the surface for gas exchange, the respiratory function.

In geology, rock or stone is a naturally occurring solid aggregate of one or more minerals or mineraloids. For example, the common rock granite is a combination of the quartz, feldspar and biotite minerals. The Earth's outer solid layer, the lithosphere, is made of rock.he types and abundance of minerals in a rock are determined by the manner in which the rock was formed. Many rocks contain silica (SiO 2); a compound of silicon and oxygen that forms 74.3% of the Earth's crust.
All rocks are made of minerals. The rocks you see around you - the mountains, canyons & riverbeds, are all made of minerals. A rock is made up of 2 or more minerals. Think of a chocolate chip cookie as a rock. The cookie is made of flour, butter, sugar & chocolate. The cookie is like a rock and the flour, butter, sugar & chocolate are like minerals.
