The Difference Between Great White Shark and The Human Body
Respiratory system
The Great White Shark
Sharks can respire by pumping water over their gills by opening and closing their mouths. From the mouth, water enters the gill chambers and exits through the gill slits. Blood in the gill filaments absorbs oxygen from the incoming water.
In a seperate chamber beneath the gills, the heart pumps oxygen-depleted blood to capillary beds in the arches. Water is pumped into the mouth and out across the gills counter to the direction of blood flow. This exchange system greatly enhances the rate and efficiency of oxygen diffusion into the blood.The Human Body
The heart is a muscular organ that pumps blood throughout your blood vessels. it has

The Reproductive System
The Great White Shark
Sharks are sexually dimorphic. That is, there are visual differences between males and females. Males, like the one seen in this picture, have pelvic claspers which are modified pelvic fins used for sperm delivery.
The testes are internal and are located in the anterior end of the body cavity within the epigonal organ. The urinary and reproductive tracts join together to form the urogenital sinus. From there the sperm is eventually released into the groove of the claspers and is then delivered to the female during copulation.
Female: Females do not have claspers. Instead they have a cloacal opening (as do the males) between the pelvic fins. The internal ovaries are found anteriorly in the body cavity and are paired, but as was the case with the male testes the left side is often reduced. Indeed, the left ovary often releases very few or no eggs.
The Human Body
Female: The ovaries are the main reproductive organs of a woman. The two ovaries, which are about the size and shape of almonds, produce female hormones (oestrogens and progesterone) and eggs (ova). All the other female reproductive organs are there to transport, nurture and otherwise meet the needs of the egg or developing fetus.
