Ventilatory mechanics were assessed using airflow and pressure measurements from the buccal cavity and trachea. The breathing pattern consisted of an expiratory phase followed by a series of 10\u201315 small buccal pumps to inflate the lung, succeeded by a long non-ventilatory period. T. natans separate the expiratory and inspiratory gases in the buccal cavity and take several inspiratory pumps, distinguishing their breathing pattern from that of sarcopterygians. Hydrostatic pressure assisted exhalation. The tracheal pressure was greater than the water pressure at that depth, suggesting that pleuroperitoneal pressure as well as axial or pulmonary smooth muscles may have contributed to the process of exhalation. The frequency of lung ventilation was 6.33\u00b10.84 breaths h\u22121, and ventilation occurred via the nares. Compared with other amphibians, this low ventilatory frequency suggests that T. natans may have acquired very efficient pulmonary respiration as an adaptation for survival in their seasonally fluctuating natural habitat. Their respiratory pathway is quite unique, with the trachea separated into anterior, central and posterior regions. The anterior region serves as an air channel, the central region is attached to the tracheal lung, and the posterior region consists of a bifurcated air channel leading to the left and right posterior lungs. The lungs are narrow, elongated, profusely vascularized and compartmentalized. The posterior lungs extend to approximately two-thirds of the body length. On the basis of their breathing pattern, it appears that caecilians are phylogenetically derived from two-stroke breathers.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1242\/jeb.203.2.263","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2021,4,25]],"date-time":"2021-04-25T04:32:54Z","timestamp":1619325174000},"page":"263-272","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Ventilatory Mechanics and the Effects of Water Depth on Breathing Pattern in the Aquatic Caecilian <i>Typhlonectes Natans<\/i>"],"prefix":"10.1242","volume":"203","author":[{"given":"KC","family":"Prabha","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"David G.","family":"Bernard","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Manuela","family":"Gardner","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Neal J.","family":"Smatresk","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"University of Texas at Arlington Department of Biology , , 501 Nedderman Drive, Box 19498, Arlington, TX 76019, USA"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"237","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2000,1,15]]},"reference":[{"key":"2024121805413949400_JEXBIO_203_2_263C1","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"764","DOI":"10.2307\/1442690","article-title":"Metabolic correlates of activity in the caecilian Geotrypetes seraphini","volume":"3","author":"Bennett","year":"1974","journal-title":"Copeia"},{"key":"2024121805413949400_JEXBIO_203_2_263C2","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"206","DOI":"10.2307\/1447404","article-title":"Comfirmation of the passive exhalation hypothesis for a terrestrial caecilian, Dermophis mexicanus","volume":"1","author":"Bennett","year":"1999","journal-title":"Copeia"},{"key":"2024121805413949400_JEXBIO_203_2_263C3","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","first-page":"6","DOI":"10.1139\/z88-002","article-title":"Control of arrhythmic breathing in bimodal breathers: Amphibia","volume":"66","author":"Boutilier","year":"1988","journal-title":"Can.
