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.
In rock classification, such grouping can help geologists see patterns and perhaps explain the reasons for rocks looking similar. 1  igneous: The name for rocks that form from magma, as compared to sedimentary or metamorphic rocks, for example, pumice or basalt. 2  chemicals: Everything is made up of chemicals.
