  1. AISD - 2009 Comparative Anatomy:Animal Body Systems:RESPIRATORY SYSTEM

  2. Respiratory System • Function: to provide oxygen gas need for cellular respiration and remove carbon dioxide from the body • Invertebrate Organs: • gills and trachae • Main Vertebrate Organs: • Nose, mouth, pharynx, larynx, trachea, bronchi, bronchioles, lungs, gills, diaphragm

  3. Respiration in animals • Whether they live in water or on land, all animals must respire. • To respire means to take in oxygen and give off carbon dioxide. • Some animals rely of simple diffusion through their skin to respire. • While others… • Have developed large complex organ systems for respiration.

  4. Invertebrate respiration • Invertebrate respiratory organs have • large surface areas • Are in contact with air or water • If require diffusion they must be moist.

  5. Aquatic invertebrates • Aquatic animals have naturally moist respiratory surfaces, and some respire through diffusion through their skin. • Example: jellyfish and anemones • Some larger aquatic animals like worms and annelids exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide through gills. • Gills are organs that have lots of blood vessels that bring blood close to the surface for gas exchange.

  6. Terrestrial Invertebrates • Terrestrial invertebrates have respiratory surfaces covered with water or mucus. (This reduces water loss) • There are many different respiratory specialized organs in terrestrial invertebrates. • Spiders use parallel book lungs • Insects use openings called spiracles where air enters the body and passes through a network of tracheal tubes for gas exchange • Snails have a mantel cavity that is lined with moist tissue and an extensive surface area of blood vessels. How does respiration in aquatic invertebrates differ from that in terrestrial invertebrates?

  8. Vertebrate respiratory systems • Chordates have one of two basic structures for respiration: • Gills – for aquatic chordates • Example: tunicates, fish and amphibians • Lungs - for terrestrial chordates • Examples: adult amphibians, reptiles, birds, and mammals

  9. Aquatic Gills • Water flows through the mouth then over the gills where oxygen is removed • Carbon dioxide and water are then pumped out through the operculum

  10. Vertebrate lungs • As you move from amphibians to mammals the surface area of the lungs increases • Insures a greater amount of gas exchange (or a two way flow of air). • Birds, by contrast have lungs and air sacs which have only a one-way flow of air. • This allows for them to have constant contact with fresh air. • This adaptation enables them to fly at high altitudes where there is less oxygen.
