Oxygen Solubility Water severely limits oxygen solubility Animals Evolve: Respiratory Structures Lungs Gills Skin Air-breathing organs Mouth, guts, gas bladder, etc. Circulatory System Environment dictates the types of adaptations
Will Discuss Dead Zone vs Oxygen Minimum Zone Later
Oxygen Consumption Cardiac output x arterial-venous differences Cardiac output: heart rate x stroke volume Arterial-venous differences Dependant on activity state Properties of the blood
Convection Diffusion
Gas Delivery Diffusion through the ectoderm Open circulatory system Cell surface as the exchange site Limits the size of the organism Open circulatory system Mollusk and arthropods Blood in hemocoel Sluggish flow Closed circulatory system Blood contained within the vessels Pigments in the blood Myoglobin in hagfish Hemoglobin for the rest Active flow
