|
|
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 |
