|
Buccal pump (air ventilation)
|
|
2-stroke pump: Stroke 1
|
open mouth and expanded buccal cavity draws fresh air into the mouth where is mixes with used air from the lungs.
|
|
2-stroke pump: Stroke 2
|
closed mouth and contracted buccal cavity forces the mixed across the respiratory membranes of the lungs (excess escapes through the nares).
|
|
4-stroke pump: exhalation
Stroke 1 (expansion 1) |
buccal cavity expands drawing air from the lungs into the mouth.
|
|
4-stroke pump: exhalation
Stroke 2 (compression 1) |
contraction of the buccal cavity forces air out of the body.
|

|
hydrostatic
|
|
_ : air is “sucked” in by the low pressure created around the lungs
|
Aspiration pump (air ventilation)
|
|
Aspiration pump: The lungs are “_” the pump (muscular _).
|
within, diaphragm and ribs
|
|
Aspiration pump (air ventilation): _ movement of air
|
bidirectional
|
|
buccal cavity does not function in respiration and is therefore “_” from feeding and respiration.
|
decoupled
|
|
Phylogeny: Agnathans:
|
Ventilation occurs via muscular pumps (velum) and the branchial aparatus.
Usually unidirectional When feeding, ventilation occurs tidally (in and out of the gill slits). Partition divides the pharynx into dorsal esophagus and ventral water channel. |
|
Phylogeny: Elasmobranchs:
|
Ventilation is a dual pump apparatus (buccal pump and parabranchial pump.
Parabranchial pump is lateral to the gills and formed by the closer of the gill flaps. |
|
Phylogeny: Osteichthyans:
|
Ventilation is dual pump
The more structurally sound operculum replaces the parabranchial pump from sharks and forms the second chamber/pump |
|
Phylogeny: Amphibians:
|
The skin is the major respiratory organ (the exclusive respiratory organ in some species)
Ventilation depends on the pumping movements of the throat to irrigate the gills or fill the lungs. Faveoli are internal subdivisions of the lung wall that open into a central chamber. Capillaries located in the thin walls of the faveoli take up oxygen and give up carbon dioxide. |
|
Phylogeny: Reptiles:
|
Paired lungs and tidal ventilation meet the respiratory needs of most reptiles
|
|
Phylogeny: Mammals:
|
Ventilation is tidal and involves the ribcage and diaphragm
|
