3 phases of gas exchange
1. breathing
2. transport oxygen and carbon dioxide in blood
3. body tissues take up oxygen and release carbon dioxide
cellular respiration (the breakdown of glucose) requires what two things?
a supply of oxygen and a disposal of carbon dioxide
______ and _____ help animals get oxygen in and carbon dioxide out IF they have a greater number of surface areas on their body (usually one celled or small multicellular)
diffusion, osmosis
worms respiratory surface
outer skin
the most common way for organisms to achieve gas exchange
through the skin, external membrane
tiniest blood vessels
capillaries
External membranes have to be ______.
Moist. If they dry out, they get hard and impervious tog as exchange
first and most common respiratory organ in many animals
skin
gas exchange in the water uses what?
gills
gills are formed by the _____ being pressed out into folded membranes
capillaries
the first time that we really see extra surface area provided for gas exchange, because ______ is no longer sufficient, so there is a system of moving fluids through it and the capillaries that carry the fluid are wrapped around the surface area that's been provided
gills, diffusion
In a fishes gills blood flows from the ______ direction as water.
opposite
ways that gas exchange is enhanced in a fish
1. ventilation of the gills (moving water past the gills)
2. countercurrent flow of water and blood
The watery medium is ______ to obtain oxygen from because temperature changes the gradient of gases aailable frequently.
more difficult
systems that are usually small, somewhat simpler than gill systems.
tracheal systems
primary examples of animals that use tracheal systems
insects
Compared to water, air contains _____ concentrations of oxygen. It is also lighter and easier to move.
higher
In lungs there are capillaries that are clustering and moving in close proximities to the air spaces inside of the lungs.
note
Tetrapods, 4 legged animals, evolved in what?
shallow water
Fossil fish had ____ and ____ and ____.
legs, lungs, gills
In fossil fish, with legs they could have reached up to gulp _____.
air
tree major lineages of tetrapods
amphibians, reptiles, birds and mammals
amphibians have _____ lungs and body surfaces
small
reptiles have _____ metabolic rates, and _____ lungs
low, simple
birds and mammals have _____ metabolic rates and _____ lungs
higher, complex
Complex lungs have _____ and _____ and the entire lung is filled with surface area for gas exchange.
aleoli, bronchioles
bronchioles dead-end in grapelike clusters of air savs called _____
alveoli
bronchus branches into finer and finer tubes called _____
bronchioles
When blood moves from heart it makes a detour to _____
alveoli
oxygen bound proteins that most animals transport
respiratory pigments
copper containing respiratory pigment is used by
molluscs and arthropods
iron containing respiratory pigment
hemoglobin (red respiratory pigment)
iron containing hemoglobin is used by almost all _____ and many _____. It transports _____, buffers _____, and transports _____.
vertebrates, invertebrates, oxygen, blood, carbon dioxide
