Shark Anatomy
Shark Anatomy refers to the physical structures and biological characteristics of sharks, including their skeletal system, fins, teeth, gills, skin, and sensory organs. Sharks have cartilaginous skeletons, multiple rows of sharp teeth for hunting and feeding, and specialized gill slits for extracting oxygen from water. Their streamlined bodies are covered in dermal denticles, providing protection and reducing drag in the water. Sharks also possess unique sensory organs such as ampullae of Lorenzini for detecting electrical signals and lateral lines for sensing vibrations in the water.
