1 Let’s Begin by Examining Respiratory Structures in Selected Aquatic Animals Focus on structure and function Focus on the diffusion rates and solubility characteristics of oxygen and carbon dioxide Focus on supplemental means for acquiring sufficient oxygen

2 Respiration in Unicellular and Small MultiCellular Organisms

12 Ram ventilation - swimming with open mouth Obligatory - e.g. some sharks and tuna Facultative - e.g. mackerel - switch to ram ventilation at swimming speeds >0.5 - 1 ms -1

13 Terrestrial Respiratory Structures Lungs Mollusca Crustacea Amphibia Reptilia Aves Mammalia Tracheae Insecta (no circulatory fluid involved - tubules branch and deliver air directly to tissues)

14 Insect Respiration

15 Open Spiracle in Grasshopper Closed Spiracle in Grasshopper

16 Insect Tracheal System
