Animal Size/Shape and the Environment Tissues Epithelial Connective Muscle Nervous IV. Feedback Control and Heat Balance V. Metabolic Rate and Energy Use VI. Preparation for next lecture
3
Overview: Diverse Forms, Common Challenges
Anatomy: study of biological form of an organism Physiology: study of biological functions of an organism (a) Tuna (b) Penguin (c) Seal Evolutionary convergence: reflects different species’ adaptations to similar environmental challenge
4
Organ Systems Communication and integration
detect external stimuli, coordinate the body’s responses Support and movement
5
Organ Systems Regulation and maintenance
regulate and maintain the body’s chemistry
6
Organ Systems Defense Reproduction and development
In females, also nurtures developing embryo/fetus
7
Hierarchical Organization of Body Plans
Vertebrates have a “tube within a tube” structure Levels or organiziation: smallest largest?
8
Overview: Diverse Forms, Common Challenges
Animals sizes and shapes directly affect how they exchange energy and materials with surroundings Mouth Gastrovascular cavity Exchange Exchange Figure 40.3 Contact with the environment Exchange 0.15 mm 1.5 mm (a) Single cell (b) Two layers of cells

Overview: Diverse Forms, Common Challenges
More complex organisms have highly folded internal surfaces 0.5 cm Nutrients Digestive system Lining of small intestine Mouth Food External environment Animal body CO2 O2 Circulatory Heart Respiratory Cells Interstitial fluid Excretory Anus Unabsorbed matter (feces) Metabolic waste products (nitrogenous waste) Kidney tubules 10 µm 50 µm Lung tissue Blood
10
Tissue Structure and Function
Tissues are classified into four main categories: epithelial, connective, muscle, and nervous Humans: 210 different cell types – can you name them?! ;)
11
Tissue Structure and Function
Epithelial Tissue Cuboidal epithelium Simple columnar Pseudostratified ciliated Stratified squamous Note differences in cell shape and type of layering
12
Tissue Structure and Function
Apical surface Basal surface Basal lamina 40 µm Epithelial cells are attached to a basal lamina at their base.
13
Connective tissue mainly binds and supports other tissues
It contains sparsely packed cells scattered throughout an extracellular matrix The matrix consists of fibers in a liquid, jellylike, or solid foundation There are six types of connective tissue.
14
Tissue Structure and Function
Connective Tissue Collagenous fiber Loose connective tissue Elastic fiber 120 µm Cartilage Chondrocytes 100 µm Chondroitin sulfate Adipose Fat droplets 150 µm White blood cells 55 µm Plasma Red blood cells Blood Nuclei Fibrous 30 µm Osteon Bone Central canal 700 µm
15
Muscle Tissue Muscle tissue consists of long cells called muscle fibers, which contract in response to nerve signals It is divided in the vertebrate body into three types: Skeletal muscle, or striated muscle, is responsible for voluntary movement Smooth muscle is responsible for involuntary body activities Cardiac muscle is responsible for contraction of the heart
16
Tissue Structure and Function
Muscle Tissue 50 µm Skeletal muscle Multiple nuclei Muscle fiber Sarcomere 100 µm Smooth Cardiac muscle Nucleus Muscle fibers 25 µm Intercalated disk Figure 40.5 Structure and function in animal tissues
17
Nervous Tissue Nervous tissue senses stimuli and transmits signals throughout the animal Nervous tissue contains: Neurons, or nerve cells, that transmit nerve impulses Glial cells, or glia, that help nourish, insulate, and replenish neurons
18
Tissue Structure and Function
Glial cells Nervous Tissue 15 µm Dendrites Cell body Axon Neuron Axons Blood vessel 40 µm Figure 40.5 Structure and function in animal tissues

Which animals tissue below is connective?
Cardiac cells Glia Lining of intestines Cartilage

21
Feedback control loops maintain the internal environment in many animals
Response: Heater turned off Stimulus: Control center (thermostat) reads too hot Room temperature decreases Set point: 20ºC increases reads too cold on Examples of negative and positive feedback? Figure 40.8 A nonliving example of negative feedback: control of room temperature
22
Feedback control loops maintain the internal environment in many animals
Animals manage their internal environment by regulating or conforming to the external environment
23
Feedback control loops maintain the internal environment in many animals
(a) A walrus, an endotherm (b) A lizard, an ectotherm Thermoregulation: process by which animals maintain an internal temperature Endothermic animals generate heat by metabolism (birds and mammals) Ectothermic animals gain heat from external sources (invertebrates, fishes, amphibians, and non-avian reptiles)
24
Balancing Heat Loss and Gain
Balancing temperature usually involves the integumentary system Hair Epidermis Sweat pore Dermis Muscle Nerve Sweat gland Figure Mammalian integumentary system Hypodermis Adipose tissue Blood vessels Oil gland Hair follicle
25
Balancing Heat Loss and Gain
Five general adaptations help animals thermoregulate: Insulation Circulatory adaptations Cooling by evaporative heat loss Behavioral responses Adjusting metabolic heat production Dragonfly “obelisk” posture
26
Energy Allocation and Use
Organic molecules in food External environment Animal body Digestion and absorption Nutrient molecules in body cells Carbon skeletons Cellular respiration ATP Heat Energy lost in feces Energy lost in nitrogenous waste Biosynthesis work Bioenergetics: overall flow of energy in an animal Determines how much food is needed due to animal’s size, activity, and environment
27
Energy Use Metabolic rate is the amount of energy an animal uses in a unit of time Measured by amount of oxygen consumed or carbon dioxide produced Basal metabolic rate (BMR) is the metabolic rate of an endotherm at rest at a “comfortable” temperature

Things To Do After Lecture 9…
Reading and Preparation: Re-read today’s lecture, highlight all vocabulary you do not understand, and look up terms. Ch. 40 Self-Quiz: #1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 (correct answers in back of book) Read chapter 40, focus on material covered in lecture (terms, concepts, and figures!) Skim next lecture. “HOMEWORK” (NOT COLLECTED – but things to think about for studying): Describe the relationship between surface area and volume for a small cell compared to a large cell. Which is more efficient at exchange with the environment? List the four types of tissues in animals – for each one, give several examples. Define basal metabolic rate. Which would use more energy for homeostatic regulation, a human or a snake? Why? Explain the difference between torpor and hibernation.
