anatomy
study of biological form of an organism
physiology
study of the biological functions of an organism
form and function are...
closely related
evolutionary convergence
shows that different species adapt to similar environmental challenge
as animals increase in size
skeleton must become proportionately larger to support their mass
rate of material exchange is proportionate to
amount of material exchange is proportionate to
cells surface area
cells volume
some organs belong to more than one organ system
nuff said
tissue is
group of cells with same function
comes together to form organ
4 classes of tissue
epithelial tissue
connective tissue
muscle tissue
nervous tissue
1)) epithelial tissue
where
what shape
cell arrangement
covers outside of body, lines organs and cavities in body, interacts with outside environment (skin, mucous membrane, etc)
shape of cell: cuboidal, columnar, or squamous (see pics on slide 22)
arrangement: simple(1 layer), stratified(many layers), or pseudostratified ( 1 layer but cells dif heights)
carcinoma
cancer of epithelial tissue (ie skin cancer)
2)) connective tissue
where
packing
binds and supports other tissue
individual cells spread throughout extracellular matrix. matrix can be liquid, solid, or btwn
six types of connective tissue

see 26/27 in ppt 1 or google for explanation of each type
1. loose connective tissue- binds epithelia to other tissue, holds organs in place
2. adipose tissue - stores fat for feul and insulation
3. fibrous connective tissue- in tendons and ligaments
4. cartilage- strong, flexible, support material
5. bone- mineralized, makes skeleton
6. blood- blood cells, cell fragments, plasma
3)) muscle tissue
long cells, (aka muscle fibers)
contract in response to nerve signals
3 types muscle tissue
skeletal/striated muscle- voluntary movement
smooth muscle- involuntary movement
cardiac muscle- contraction of heart, looks partially striated and part smooth
how muscles work
long fibers which respond to nervous signal
ratchet motion PUSH together and overlap even more
when relax move apart again
4)) nervous tissue
senses stimuli in internal and external environment-> sends signal
contains neurons and glia
neurons/nerve cells
transmit nerve impulses
mostly electrical and a little chemical
glia/ glial cells
nourish, insulate, and replenish neurons
tendons
attach muscle to bones
ligaments
connect bones at joint
feedback
allows for regulation of internal environment
regulator
tight control/narrow range of acceptable environment
favorable environment but high energy cost
conformer
loose control/ conform to environment
difficult to deal with but low energy cost
homeostasis
-steady state maintained by body( ieblood pH, temp, glucose levels)
-maintained by both regulators and conformers but to lesser extent
-think of as ac/heat set to a specific temp
negative feedback
helps return something to its normal range/homeostasis
buildup of end product shuts off production
positive feedback
amplifies a stimulus and does not usually contribute to homeostasis
snowball effect until runs out
circadian rhythm
resets every 24 hours based on sun set, rise, etc
affects homeostasis settings by calling for different set points at different parts of the day
jet lag
in middle of night, body temp drops and melatonin conc rises
see 12 hour clock pic
mice circadian study
dif genes involved in circadian rhythm studied
gene expression reacts differently in dif environments
thermoregulation
animals maintain temp within tolerable range
endothermic
- make heat from metabolism
birds and mammals
walrus
ectothermic
- gain heat from outside sources
fish, amphibians, reptiles
lizard
poikilotherm
body temp changes with environment
conformer with respect to temp
homeotherm
body temp is constant
regulator with respect to temp
4 methods of heat transfer
radiation
evaporation
convection
conduction
evaporation
transition from liquid to gas uses energy in the form of heat
ie sweating
conduction
physical touching
solid to solid
convetion
solid to fluid (gas or liquid) thru flowing
ei boiling water
radiation
heat energy into environment throuhg air
ie fire
integumentary system
used in thermoregulation
skin hair nails
5 adaptions in integumentary system
insulation
circulatory
cooling by evaporation
behavioral responses
adjust metabolic heat production
insuation
reduced heat flow between animal and environment, like buffer
both hot and cold situations
circulatory adaptations
regulate blood flow near surface of body
vasodilation- more blood flow in skin, more heat loss
vasoconstriction- less blood flow to skin, less heat loss
behavioral responses
in both but especially in ectothems
ie snake sitting on rock in sun, lizard dance
adjust metabolic heat production
behaviors that make our body give off more heat
ie go running for heat, rub hands, shiver
also in ectotherms, just not used daily
wood frog
can become completely frozen, "dead", and come back to life when it thaws
fluids in blood similar to antifreeze
outside freezes, inside remains partially liquid
thermoregulation controlled by
hypothalamus in brain
like ac/heat with set temp
bioenergetics
flow and transformation of energy in animals
determines food need of animal by size,activity,environment
metabolic rate
amount of energy used by an animal over certain amount of time
determined by heat loss OR oxygen consumed/CO2 made
bmr and smr
basal metabolic rate
rate of ENDOtherm at comfortable temp
standard metabolic rate
rate of ECTOtherm at specific temp
size and metabolic rate
see slide 59
torpor
low activity to decrease metabolism to conserve energy in dangerous/hard conditions
hibernation
long term torpor for winter bc cold and little food
