The Aorta provides blood to the heart through the
- Coronary Arteries

Heart Picture
Composition of blood
- Plasma
- Cells
- Platelets
Plasma
- Aqueous portion of blood containing dissolved substances and cells and platelets
Cells

- white blood cells, protect against disease
Platelets
- Cell fragments involved in blood clotting
Blood Plasma
- Over 90% water
- 7% plasma proteins
-created in liver
- confined to blood stream
- 2% other substances: electrolytes, nutrients, hormones, gases, waste products
Plasma proteins
- Albumin: maintain blood osmotic pressure
- Globulins (immunoglobulins)
-Antibodies bind to foreign substances called anitgens
- form antigen-antibody complexes
- Fibrinogen: for clotting
On average, humans have about
- 6 liters of blood
- circulated completely once every 20 seconds
Blood functions to
- transport nutrients, gases and regulatory molecules (hormones) and waste material
- Regulate pH and control osmosis
- Regulate body temperature
- Defend the body against infection and other foreign substances
- regulate the clotting process
Lymph
- fluid that has "leaked" from blood capillaries and has then moved into lymph vessels
Lymph is similar in composition to blood except that it
- lacks red blood cells and platelets
Function of the lymph system
- Returns tissue fluid to the circulatory system
- carries some wastes to the circulatory system
- carries some absorbed nutrients from the digestive tract to the circulatory system
Respiratory in animals
Respiratory Media
- animals can use air or water as a source of O2
- in a given volume, there is less O2 in water than in air
- Obtaining water from water requires greater efficiency than air breathing
Any mechanism that maximizes gas exchange between an organism and its environment is called
- Ventilation
- Ventilation: moves the respiratory medium over the respiratory surface
Gas exchange (respiratory exchange)
- supplies oxygen for cellular respiration and disposes of carbon dioxide
Cellular Respiration
- occurs at the cellular level and is responsible for the production of ATP
Respiratory in Animals requirements
- Large, moist respiratory surface required for respiratory exchange
Respiration in Unicellular organisms
- Simple Diffusion across cell membrane
Respiration in Large organisms
- Exchange Across Body Wall
Respiratory Surfaces

Animals require a
- large, moist respiratory surfaces for exchange of gases between their cells and the respiratory medium, either air or water
Gas exchange across respiratory surfaces (skin) takes place by
- Diffusion
Respiratory surfaces vary by animal and can include
- the outer surface
- skin
- gills
- tracheae
- lungs
Respiratory in Animals

- planarians
- increased surface area to body volume ratio
External gills
- finely divided giving rise to large surface area
- rest of body surface may also participate in respiratory exchange
- found in some polycheate worms and amphibians
- (Nectoris, Mud puppies)
Internal gills (protected)
- present in most body fish
- countercurrent exhange (later slide)
Insects
- tracheal system of respiratory exchange, gases moved directly to cells
Air-breathing vertebrates
- lungs, internal system, gas transported to all tissues through cardiovascular system
Counter current exchange
- This mechanism affects ventilation in fish
- blood flows in ONE DIRECTION over the gills while water passes in the OPPOSITE DIRECTION
- Diffusion gradient favours O2 transfer throughout the length of the gills
Ventilation in fish (pic)
Internal lungs
- found in air breathing vertebrates
- Lungs are infolding of the body surface
- The circulatory system (open or closed) transport gases between the lungs and the rest of the body
Lungs in humans (pic)
Respiration in Amphibians
- Do not have a diaphram
- moist skin of frog is also used in respiratory exchange (specially under water when lungs are shut off)
- air is later forced out through the Buccal cavity
Ventilation in Anarchnids (spiders etc...)
- Spiders have a body structure consisting of a CEPHALOTHORAX and ABDOMEN
- Respiratory exchange organs are a TRACHEAand BOOK LUNGS
- trachea extends into interior tissues and supplies most body cells directly (no circulatory fluid required)
- Book lungs are in the anterior abdomen. Moist air passes across them and gases diffuse into body cavity and circulate in open circulation
Spider pic
Ventilation in insects
- Tracheal system
- Spiracles - openings of trachea
- Trachea are lined with chitin which is impermeable to gases
- Gases must pass through Terminal Tracheols to get to cells
Insect respiratory pic
Ventilation in Amphibians
- Frogs use Positive Pressure breathing to ventilate their lungs
- Air is drawn into buccal cavity through nose with mouth closed
- Buccal cavity is enlarged through lowering of its floor
- Nasal Valve then closes and buccal floor raised
- Positive pressure forces air into lungs
Ventilation in Birds
- in addition to lungs, birds have eight or nine air sacks
- Air sacks are located in abdomen, neck and wings
- Air sacks act as Bellows
- Air passes through the lungs in ONE DIRECTION ONLY, during inspiration and expiration
- Every exhalation completely renews the air in the lungs
- This enables efficient gas exchange for flight
Bird respiration Pic
How a Mammal Breathes
- Mammals ventilate their lungs by negative pressure breathing, which pulls air into the lungs
- Lung volume increases as the rib muscles and diaphragm contracts
Quiet Inspiration
- Diaphragm moves 1 cm and ribs lifted by muscles
- Intrathoracic pressure falls and 2-3 liters inhaled
Quiet Expiration
- Passive process with no muscle action
- Elastic recoil and surface tension in alveoli pulls inward
- Alveolar pressure increases and air is pushed out
Respiration in humas pic
Respiration in humans (simplified)
- inhilation- diaphram contracts (moves down), rib cage expands as rib muscle contract , air inhaled
- Exhalation - Diaphram relaxes, Rib cave gets smaller as rib muscle relax, air exhaled
Partial Pressure Gradient in Gas exchange
- gases diffuse down pressure gradients in lungs and other organs as a result of differences in partial pressure
- Partial Pressure is the pressure exerted by a gas in a mixture of gases
A gas diffuses from a region of
- Higher partial pressure
- to a region of Lower partial pressure
- in the lungs and tissues, O2 and CO2 diffuse where their partial pressures are higher to where they are lower
Coordination of circulation and gas exchange
- Blood arriving to the lungs have a low partial pressure of O2 and high partial pressure of CO2 relative to air in alveoli
- In the alveoli, O2 diffuses into the blood and CO2 diffuses into the air
- In tissue capillaries, partial pressure gradients favor diffusion of O2 into the interstitial fluids and CO2 into the blood
Partial pressure of gasses diffusion PIC
Oxygen transport
red blood cells
- Red blood cells ( erythrocytes) are by far the most numerous blood cells
- they transport oxygen throughout the body
- they contain Haemoglobin, the iron containing protein that transport oxygen
- 98.5% of oxygen attached to the Haeme of haemoglobin
- Haemocyanin does a similar job in anthropods and some molluscs
Carbon Dioxide transport
- 70% transported as bicarbonate ions (HCO3)
- 23% attached to the GLOBIN of haemoglobin
- 7% dissolved in plasma
Diving animals
(very efficient respiration and circulation)
- can store large amounts of O2 to remain underwater longer
- have high amounts of Myglobin (found only in muscle cells) that stores O2
- use minimal muscle movement to move
- Hear rate decrease before a dive ( some may have 1 beat per minute)
- blood only goes to essential tissues
