1
Animal Structure and Function
2
Thermoregulation ► Ectotherms Obtain body heat from the environment. Poikilotherms ► Invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles and fish. ► “cold blooded” ► Endotherms Generate their own body heat. Homeotherms ► Mammals ► Warmblooded
3
Temperature Regulation ► Cooling evaporation Sweating Panting ► Warming by metabolism Shivering ► Adjusting surface area Changing the volume of blood flow Countercurrent Exchange
4
The Respiratory System ► Direct contact with the environment Cells have large surface areas with which they can have exchange with the environment. ► Gills Evaginated structures that create large surface areas. ► Tracheae Chitin lined tubes that permeate the body. Oxygen enters the tracheae through opening called spiracles. ► Lungs Invaginated structures which allow gas exchange
5
Human Respiration ► Nose, pharynx, larynx ► Trachea ► Bronchi, bronchioles ► Alveolus ► Diffusion between alveolar chambers and blood. ► Bulk flow of O 2 ► Diffusion between blood and cells ► Bulk flow of CO ► Bulk flow of CO 2
6
Circulatory System ► Open Circulatory Systems Blood is pumped into an internal cavity-hemocoel The tissues and organs are bathed in hemolymph. Hemolymph returns to the heart through holes called ostia. ► Mollusks, insects ► Closed Circulatory Systems Blood is confined to vessels. ► Annelida Octopuses, Squid, Vertebrate
7
Human Circulatory System ► Basics: Arteries arterioles Capillaries Gas and waste exchange Venules Veins Heart
8
Pumping Blood Through the Heart ► Right Atrium Deoxygenated blood enters via the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava ► Right Ventricle Blood moves through the tricuspid valve (right atrioventricular valve or AV valve) to the right ventricle. Right ventricle pumps the blood to the pulmonary artery through the pulmonary semilunar valve to the lungs. ► Left Atrium Oxygenated blood returns to the left Atrium through the pulmonary vein. ► Left Ventricle Blood moves through the bicuspid (mitral or left AV valve) to the left ventricle. The blood is then pumped from the heart via the aorta through the aortic semilunar valve and to the body.
9
The Cardiac Cycle ► The rhythmic contraction and relaxation of heart muscles. ► Regulated by auto rhythmic cells which are self- excitable. SA node, pacemaker ► Upper wall of the right atrium ► Initiates the cycle by contracting both atria AV node ► Lower half of the right atrium ► Receives a delayed impulse from the SA node then contracts the ventricles. Systole Phase ► Blood is forced through the pulmonary arteries and aorta and the AV valves are forced to close.
10
Blood ► RBC, erythrocytes Transport oxygen ► WBC, leukocytes Disease fighting cells ► Platelets Cell fragements Blood clotting ► Plasma Liquid
11
The Excretory System ► The excretory systems help maintain homeostasis in organisms by regulating water balance.
12
Osmoregulation ► The absorption and excretion of water and dissolved substances so that proper water balance is maintained between the organism and its surroundings. Marine fish ► Hypoosmotic ► Drink lots, pee little Fresh water fish ► Hyperosmostic ► Drink little, pee lots
13
Excretory Mechanisms ► Contractile Vacuoles ► Flame Cells ► Nephridia ► Malpighian tubules ► Kidney
