    Question

    Chloride cells are present in which part of teleost fishes?

    A.

    Kidney

    B.

    Gills

    C.

    Bladder

    D.

    Scales

    E.

    Oesophagus

    Correct option is B


    Chloride cells are specialized cells located in the  gills of teleost fishes, particularly in freshwater species.
    · These cells are involved in the osmoregulatory process, helping the fish maintain ionic balance by excreting excess chloride ions.
    · Chloride cells adapt to changes in salinity, which is crucial for fishes transitioning between freshwater and seawater environments.
    · They play a key role in the fish’s ability to regulate internal salt concentrations and manage water balance.
