Chapter 34 Circulation and Gas Exchange
2
Overview: Trading Places Every organism must exchange materials with its environment Exchanges ultimately occur at the cellular level by crossing the plasma membrane In unicellular organisms, these exchanges occur directly with the environment © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
3
For most cells making up multicellular organisms, direct exchange with the environment is not possible Gills are an example of a specialized exchange system in animals –O 2 diffuses from the water into blood vessels –CO 2 diffuses from blood into the water Internal transport and gas exchange are functionally related in most animals © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Circulatory systems link exchange surfaces with cells throughout the body Diffusion time is proportional to the square of the distance Diffusion is only efficient over small distances In small and/or thin animals, cells can exchange materials directly with the surrounding medium In most animals, cells exchange materials with the environment via a fluid-filled circulatory system © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gastrovascular Cavities Some animals lack a circulatory system Some cnidarians, such as jellies, have elaborate gastrovascular cavities A gastrovascular cavity functions in both digestion and distribution of substances throughout the body The body wall that encloses the gastrovascular cavity is only two cells thick Flatworms have a gastrovascular cavity and a large surface area to volume ratio © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Evolutionary Variation in Circulatory Systems A circulatory system minimizes the diffusion distance in animals with many cell layers © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
11
General Properties of Circulatory Systems A circulatory system has –A circulatory fluid –A set of interconnecting vessels –A muscular pump, the heart The circulatory system connects the fluid that surrounds cells with the organs that exchange gases, absorb nutrients, and dispose of wastes Circulatory systems can be open or closed and vary in the number of circuits in the body © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
12
Open and Closed Circulatory Systems In insects, other arthropods, and most molluscs, blood bathes the organs directly in an open circulatory system In an open circulatory system, there is no distinction between blood and interstitial fluid, and this general body fluid is called hemolymph © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

15
In a closed circulatory system, blood is confined to vessels and is distinct from the interstitial fluid Closed systems are more efficient at transporting circulatory fluids to tissues and cells Annelids, cephalopods, and vertebrates have closed circulatory systems © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

17
Organization of Vertebrate Circulatory Systems Humans and other vertebrates have a closed circulatory system called the cardiovascular system The three main types of blood vessels are arteries, veins, and capillaries Blood flow is one way in these vessels © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
18
Arteries branch into arterioles and carry blood away from the heart to capillaries Networks of capillaries called capillary beds are the sites of chemical exchange between the blood and interstitial fluid Venules converge into veins and return blood from capillaries to the heart © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
19
Arteries and veins are distinguished by the direction of blood flow, not by O 2 content Vertebrate hearts contain two or more chambers Blood enters through an atrium and is pumped out through a ventricle © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
20
Single Circulation Bony fishes, rays, and sharks have single circulation with a two-chambered heart In single circulation, blood leaving the heart passes through two capillary beds before returning © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

25
In reptiles and mammals, oxygen-poor blood flows through the pulmonary circuit to pick up oxygen through the lungs In amphibians, oxygen-poor blood flows through a pulmocutaneous circuit to pick up oxygen through the lungs and skin Oxygen-rich blood delivers oxygen through the systemic circuit Double circulation maintains higher blood pressure in the organs than does single circulation © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
26
Adaptations of Double Circulatory Systems Hearts vary in different vertebrate groups © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
27
Amphibians Frogs and other amphibians have a three- chambered heart: two atria and one ventricle The ventricle pumps blood into a forked artery that splits the ventricle’s output into the pulmocutaneous circuit and the systemic circuit When underwater, blood flow to the lungs is nearly shut off © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Coordinated cycles of heart contraction drive double circulation in mammals The mammalian cardiovascular system meets the body’s continuous demand for O 2 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
35
Mammalian Circulation Blood begins its flow with the right ventricle pumping blood to the lungs In the lungs, the blood loads O 2 and unloads CO 2 Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs enters the heart at the left atrium and is pumped through the aorta to the body tissues by the left ventricle The aorta provides blood to the heart through the coronary arteries © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
36
Blood returns to the heart through the superior vena cava (blood from head, neck, and forelimbs) and inferior vena cava (blood from trunk and hind limbs) The superior vena cava and inferior vena cava flow into the right atrium © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

The heart rate, also called the pulse, is the number of beats per minute The stroke volume is the amount of blood pumped in a single contraction The cardiac output is the volume of blood pumped into the systemic circulation per minute and depends on both the heart rate and stroke volume © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
45
Four valves prevent backflow of blood in the heart The atrioventricular (AV) valves separate each atrium and ventricle The semilunar valves control blood flow to the aorta and the pulmonary artery © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
46
The “lub-dup” sound of a heart beat is caused by the recoil of blood against the AV valves (lub) then against the semilunar (dup) valves Backflow of blood through a defective valve causes a heart murmur © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
47
Maintaining the Heart’s Rhythmic Beat Some cardiac muscle cells are self-excitable, meaning they contract without any signal from the nervous system The sinoatrial (SA) node, or pacemaker, sets the rate and timing at which cardiac muscle cells contract Impulses that travel during the cardiac cycle can be recorded as an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG) © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Impulses from the SA node travel to the atrioventricular (AV) node At the AV node, the impulses are delayed and then travel to the Purkinje fibers that make the ventricles contract © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
53
The pacemaker is regulated by two portions of the nervous system: the sympathetic and parasympathetic divisions The sympathetic division speeds up the pacemaker The parasympathetic division slows down the pacemaker The pacemaker is also regulated by hormones and temperature © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Patterns of blood pressure and flow reflect the structure and arrangement of blood vessels The physical principles that govern movement of water in plumbing systems also influence the functioning of animal circulatory systems © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
55
Blood Vessel Structure and Function A vessel’s cavity is called the central lumen The epithelial layer that lines blood vessels is called the endothelium The endothelium is smooth and minimizes resistance © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Capillaries have thin walls, the endothelium plus its basal lamina, to facilitate the exchange of materials Arteries and veins have an endothelium, smooth muscle, and connective tissue Arteries have thicker walls than veins to accommodate the high pressure of blood pumped from the heart In the thinner-walled veins, blood flows back to the heart mainly as a result of muscle action © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
61
Blood Flow Velocity Physical laws governing movement of fluids through pipes affect blood flow and blood pressure Velocity of blood flow is slowest in the capillary beds, as a result of the high resistance and large total cross-sectional area Blood flow in capillaries is necessarily slow for exchange of materials © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

63
Blood Pressure Blood flows from areas of higher pressure to areas of lower pressure Blood pressure is the pressure that blood exerts against the wall of a vessel In rigid vessels blood pressure is maintained; less rigid vessels deform and blood pressure is lost © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
64
Changes in Blood Pressure During the Cardiac Cycle Systolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries during ventricular systole; it is the highest pressure in the arteries Diastolic pressure is the pressure in the arteries during diastole; it is lower than systolic pressure A pulse is the rhythmic bulging of artery walls with each heartbeat © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
65
Regulation of Blood Pressure Blood pressure is determined by cardiac output and peripheral resistance due to constriction of arterioles Vasoconstriction is the contraction of smooth muscle in arteriole walls; it increases blood pressure Vasodilation is the relaxation of smooth muscles in the arterioles; it causes blood pressure to fall © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
66
Vasoconstriction and vasodilation help maintain adequate blood flow as the body’s demands change Nitric oxide is a major inducer of vasodilation The peptide endothelin is an important inducer of vasoconstriction © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
67
Blood Pressure and Gravity Blood pressure is generally measured for an artery in the arm at the same height as the heart Blood pressure for a healthy 20-year-old at rest is 120 mm Hg at systole and 70 mm Hg at diastole © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

69
Fainting is caused by inadequate blood flow to the head Animals with longer necks require a higher systolic pressure to pump blood a greater distance against gravity Blood is moved through veins by smooth muscle contraction, skeletal muscle contraction, and expansion of the vena cava with inhalation One-way valves in veins prevent backflow of blood © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Capillary Function Blood flows through only 5 10% of the body’s capillaries at a time Capillaries in major organs are usually filled to capacity Blood supply varies in many other sites © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
72
Two mechanisms regulate distribution of blood in capillary beds –Contraction of the smooth muscle layer in the wall of an arteriole constricts the vessel –Precapillary sphincters control flow of blood between arterioles and venules Blood flow is regulated by nerve impulses, hormones, and other chemicals © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

74
The exchange of substances between the blood and interstitial fluid takes place across the thin endothelial walls of the capillaries The difference between blood pressure and osmotic pressure drives fluids out of capillaries at the arteriole end and into capillaries at the venule end Most blood proteins and all blood cells are too large to pass through the endothelium © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Plasma Blood plasma is about 90% water Among its solutes are inorganic salts in the form of dissolved ions, sometimes called electrolytes Another important class of solutes is the plasma proteins, which influence blood pH, osmotic pressure, and viscosity Various plasma proteins function in lipid transport, immunity, and blood clotting © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
85
Cellular Elements Suspended in blood plasma are two types of cells –Red blood cells (erythrocytes) transport oxygen O 2 –White blood cells (leukocytes) function in defense Platelets, a third cellular element, are fragments of cells that are involved in clotting © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
86
Red blood cells, or erythrocytes, are by far the most numerous blood cells They contain hemoglobin, the iron-containing protein that transports O 2 Each molecule of hemoglobin binds up to four molecules of O 2 In mammals, mature erythrocytes lack nuclei and mitochondria Erythrocytes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Gas exchange occurs across specialized respiratory surfaces Gas exchange supplies O 2 for cellular respiration and disposes of CO 2 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
105
Partial Pressure Gradients in Gas Exchange A gas diffuses from a region of higher partial pressure to a region of lower partial pressure Partial pressure is the pressure exerted by a particular gas in a mixture of gases Gases diffuse down pressure gradients in the lungs and other organs as a result of differences in partial pressure © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Control of Breathing in Humans In humans, the main breathing control centers are in two regions of the brain, the medulla oblongata and the pons The medulla regulates the rate and depth of breathing in response to pH changes in the cerebrospinal fluid The medulla adjusts breathing rate and depth to match metabolic demands The pons regulates the tempo © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
139
Sensors in the aorta and carotid arteries monitor O 2 and CO 2 concentrations in the blood These sensors exert secondary control over breathing © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
140
Homeostasis: Blood pH of about 7.4 CO 2 level decreases. Stimulus: Rising level of CO 2 in tissues lowers blood pH. Response: Rib muscles and diaphragm increase rate and depth of ventilation. Carotid arteries Aorta Sensor/control center: Cerebrospinal fluid Medulla oblongata Figure 42.29

Adaptations for gas exchange include pigments that bind and transport gases The metabolic demands of many organisms require that the blood transport large quantities of O 2 and CO 2 © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
142
Coordination of Circulation and Gas Exchange Blood arriving in the lungs has a low partial pressure of O 2 and a high partial pressure of CO 2 relative to air in the alveoli In the alveoli, O 2 diffuses into the blood and CO 2 diffuses into the air In tissue capillaries, partial pressure gradients favor diffusion of O 2 into the interstitial fluids and CO 2 into the blood © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.

Respiratory Pigments Respiratory pigments, proteins that transport oxygen, greatly increase the amount of oxygen that blood can carry Arthropods and many molluscs have hemocyanin with copper as the oxygen-binding component Most vertebrates and some invertebrates use hemoglobin In vertebrates, hemoglobin is contained within erythrocytes © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
147
Hemoglobin A single hemoglobin molecule can carry four molecules of O 2, one molecule for each iron- containing heme group The hemoglobin dissociation curve shows that a small change in the partial pressure of oxygen can result in a large change in delivery of O 2 CO 2 produced during cellular respiration lowers blood pH and decreases the affinity of hemoglobin for O 2 ; this is called the Bohr shift © 2011 Pearson Education, Inc.
