1. CAMPBELL BIOLOGY IN FOCUS © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Urry Cain Wasserman Minorsky Jackson Reece Lecture Presentations by Kathleen Fitzpatrick and Nicole Tunbridge 34 Circulation and Gas Exchange

2. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Do now:  What is the purpose of a circulatory system?  What are the different organs of the human circulatory system?  List some organisms that might have circulatory systems different from humans  List some organisms that might not have circulatory systems

3. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Main Ideas to know:  Different types of circulatory systems  Role of carbon dioxide/pH and homeostasis  Positive feedback of blood clotting  Respiratory pigments

4. © 2014 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

5. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 34.2 Gastrovascular cavity Mouth 1 mm Flatworms have a gastrovascular cavity and a flat body shape to optimize diffusional exchange with the environment

6. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Open and Closed Circulatory Systems  A circulatory system has a circulatory fluid, a set of interconnecting vessels, and a muscular pump, the heart  Several basic types of circulatory systems have arisen during evolution, each representing adaptations to constraints of anatomy and environment

8. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  All circulatory systems are either open or closed  circulatory fluid bathes the organs directly in an open circulatory system  Ex: insects, arthropods and molluscs  In an open circulatory system, there is no distinction between circulatory fluid and interstitial fluid, and this general body fluid is called hemolymph

9. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  In closed circulatory systems the circulatory fluid called blood is confined to vessels and is distinct from interstitial fluid  Ex: annelids (earthworms), vertebrates  One or more hearts pump blood through the vessels  Chemical exchange occurs between blood and interstitial fluid and between interstitial fluid and body cells

10. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. 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

12. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  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  Arteries and veins are distinguished by the direction of blood flow, not by O 2 content

17. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Blood Clotting  Coagulation is the formation of a solid clot from liquid blood  A cascade of complex reactions converts inactive fibrinogen to fibrin, which forms the framework of a clot  A blood clot formed within a blood vessel is called a thrombus and can block blood flow

19. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  A heart attack, or myocardial infarction, is the death of cardiac muscle tissue resulting from blockage of one or more coronary arteries  A stroke is the death of nervous tissue in the brain, usually resulting from rupture or blockage of arteries in the head  Angina pectoris is caused by partial blockage of the coronary arteries and may cause chest pain

20. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Concept 34.5: Gas exchange occurs across specialized respiratory surfaces  Gas exchange is the uptake of molecular O 2 from the environment and the discharge of CO 2 to the environment

22. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Control of Breathing in Humans  In humans, the main breathing control center consists of neural circuits in the medulla oblongata, near the base of the brain  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

Homeostasis: Blood pH of about 7.4 CO 2 level decreases. Stimulus: Rising level of CO 2 in tissues lowers blood pH. Sensor/control center: Aorta Cerebro- spinal fluid Medulla oblongata

27. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Concept 34.7: 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

29. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Respiratory Pigments  Respiratory pigments circulate in blood or hemolymph and greatly increase the amount of oxygen that is transported  A variety of respiratory pigments have evolved among animals  These mainly consist of a metal bound to a protein  Ex: hemoglobin  A single hemoglobin molecule can carry four molecules of O 2, one molecule for each iron- containing heme group

30. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  CO 2 produced during cellular respiration lowers blood pH and decreases the affinity of hemoglobin for O 2 ; this is called the Bohr shift  Hemoglobin also assists in preventing harmful changes in blood pH and plays a minor role in CO 2 transport

31. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Carbon Dioxide Transport  Most of the CO 2 from respiring cells diffuses into the blood and is transported in blood plasma, bound to hemoglobin or as bicarbonate ions (HCO 3 – )

32. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc. Respiratory Adaptations of Diving Mammals  Diving mammals have evolutionary adaptations that allow them to perform extraordinary feats  For example, Weddell seals in Antarctica can remain underwater for 20 minutes to an hour  For example, elephant seals can dive to 1,500 m and remain underwater for 2 hours  These animals have a high blood to body volume ratio

33. © 2014 Pearson Education, Inc.  Deep-diving air breathers can store large amounts of O 2  Oxygen can be stored in their muscles in myoglobin proteins  Diving mammals also conserve oxygen by  Changing their buoyancy to glide passively  Decreasing blood supply to muscles  Deriving ATP in muscles from fermentation once oxygen is depleted
