Why would a fish with faulty valves in its conus arteriosus probably suffer from a lack of energy?

A faulty conus arteriosus  would compromise on an effective gaseous exchange that keeps the blood of the fish oxygenated for respiration of tissues. The conus arteriosus is one of two accessory chambers found in most fish with two-chambered hearts. The primary function of the conus arteriosus is to prevent the backflow of blood and keep a steady flow of blood into the ventral aorta and the gills.

homeostasis is the tendency towards a relatively stable equilibrium between interdependent elements, especially as maintained by physiological processes. and this is how it applies to the integumentary system. back to top. skin functions in homeostasis include protection, regulation of body temperature, sensory reception, water balance, synthesis of vitamins and hormones, and absorption of materials. when body temperature falls, the sweat glands constrict and sweat production decreases.
