Excretory System learning the ways of waste…
3
Animal cells move material across the cell membrane by diffusion nutrients and fuels for energy from digestive system oxygen in from respiratory system waste out CO 2 leaves by respiratory system urea from cells, leaves by excretory system What Do Animal Cells Do To Stay Alive? O2O2 sugar nutrients CO 2 urea nutrients O2O2
4
Unicellular Multicellular All cells in direct contact with environment All cells can easily get nutrients in & waste out by diffusion Internal cells not in direct contact with environment Internal cells can’t get nutrients in & waste out Need organ systems UnicellularMulticellular
5
Keeping An Animal Alive Had to evolve organ systems for: getting materials in & around digestive system respiratory system circulatory system removing wastes respiratory system excretory system
6
What Liquid Waste Do We Make? Digesting protein makes poison nitrogen waste = ammonia = poison H CO 2 + H 2 O NH 2 = ammonia H H N C—OH || O H | —C— |
7
The kind of waste you make depends on where you live Freshwater ammonia Land urea Land egg layer uric acid Nitrogen Waste
8
Nitrogen Waste Disposal In Water Freshwater animals If you have a lot of water you can dilute the waste before it poisons you excrete ammonia through gills and as urine Yes, fish pee in the water!
9
Nitrogen Waste Disposal On Land Land animals need to save H 2 O evolved less poisonous waste product urea excrete urea & H 2 O as urine
10
Urea and Skin…. Did You Know: Urea in its pure form is a powder This powder is very good for your skin Its even found in most make-up!
11
Human Kidney Mammals have a pair of bean-shaped kidneys supplied with blood by a renal artery and a renal vein
12
Proximal tubule Distal tubule Glomerulus Collecting duct Loop of Henle Amino acids Glucose H2OH2O H2OH2O H2OH2O H2OH2O H2OH2O H2OH2O Na + Cl - Mg ++ Ca ++ Bowman’s capsule Na + Cl - kidney’s filtering unit
13
Kidneys: -contains millions of nephrons -nephrons filter the blood -removes wastes by diffusion Ureters: -brings waste to bladder Urethra: -brings waste from bladder to outside world Urinary Bladder: -holds waste from kidneys -make of special tissue that allows for expansion
14
Nitrogen Waste Disposal in Egg Egg-laying land animals no place to get rid of waste while in egg needs waste that doesn’t dissolve in water inside egg uric acid stays a powder inside egg birds, reptiles, insects
15
Uric Acid Bird & reptile waste large molecule that doesn’t dissolve in water inside egg stays as a white powder doesn’t harm embryo in egg adults excrete white paste not liquid waste white bird poop is really their pee! this is why male birds don’t have a penis! Getting a little personal, aren’t we!
16
So Why Do Humans Dave Two Kinds of Waste? O2O2 CO 2 urea nutrients
