physiology

function

SA vs. VOL

larger animals have more cells, not larger ones, increased surface area means increased rate of exchange

exchange in simple (hydra) vs. complex animals

hydras consist of 2 layers of cells. fluid moves in./out of mouth and every cell can exchange mat directly with aqueous environment



complex: internal exchange surfaces

advantage to being complex

skeleton for protection


sensory structures


gradual digestion and nutrient absorption


survival in variable environments

4 levels of organization

cells


tissues


organs


organ system


interstitial fluid

between cells, allows for movement of material into/out of cells

circulatory fluid

delivers gases and and nutrients to cells and takes waste away

homeostasis

maintaining steady state or internal balance regardless of external environment

acclimatization

animals adjust their normal range to external environmental changes. this occurs in an individuals lifetime and is a reversible, physiological change

thermoregulation

animals maintain an internal temperature within a tolerable range

endothermy

body heat is generated by metabolism, requires animal to eat more, can be more active in a wider range of temps

ectothermy

body heat comes from outside sources, can tolerate a wide range of body temperatures

poikilotherms

body temp varies with environment

homeotherms

maintain a relatively constant body temp

circ adaptation that reduced heat loss

veins and arteries in penguins run anti-parallel, use countercurrent exchange to conserve heat

basal metabolic rate

minimum metabolism for a non-growing endotherm at rest with no stress at a comfortable temperature

which is more energetically expensive: endo or ecto?

endothermy

factor that can significantly influence energy budget

thermoregulation (whether endo or ectotherm)



size

body size vs. energy budget

larger animals require more energy but smaller endotherms require more energy PER unit weight (they have higher metabolic rates)



smaller animals dedicate more of their energy (by %) to thermoregulation

3 types or torpor

hibernation (adaptation to winter cold/food scarcity)


estivation (high temps and water scarcity)


daily torpor (small animals and birds- adaptation to feeding patterns)

behavior

nervous system response to a stimulus and is carried out by muscular or hormonal system



helps animal find food or partner, or maintain homeostsis

Proximate causation

"how" environmental stimuli trigger a behavior and the genetic, physiological, and anatomical mechanisms underlying the behavior

ultimate causation

"why" evolutionary significance

fixed action pattern



cue?



exa

sequence of unlearned, innate behaviors that are unchangeable



triggered by an external cue known as a sign stimulus
