Comparative AnatomyRespiratory System Note Set 10 Chapter 11
Respiratory System • Gas exchange system • Oxygen and carbon dioxide • Fish- internal gills or lungs • Some amphibians- permanent external gills (perennibranchiate) • Others possess lungs
Accessory respiration organs • Amphibian skin Figure 12.1: Adaptations for cutaneous respiration (hairy frog).
Fish Respiratory System • Gills associated with walls of pharyngeal arches • Internal gills • Operculum- flap of skin covering gills • Spiracle- reduced 1st pharyngeal arch opening • Nonfunctional • Not in higher fish Figure 12.2: Gills of shark and teleost.
Swim Bladder & Lungs • Every vertebrate has lung diverticulum • Pneumatic sac • Which came first? • Physoclistous • Esophagus not connected to swim bladder • Physostomous • Trachea to lungs or pneumatic sac Figure 12.3: Swim bladders and urodele lungs.
Primitive Fish Have Primitive Lung • Lung diverticulum came first • Then pneumatic duct in teleosts • Swim bladder was possibly a secondary modification of lung Figure 12.4: Evolution of lungs and swim bladders.
Swim Bladder • Red glands (gas glands)- network of small arteries • Provide oxygen to swim bladder Figure 12.5: Swim bladder (red) of fish. Figure 12.6: Rete mirabile in fish, red indicates high oxygen concentration.
Swim Bladder (cont.) • Weberian ossicles • Swim bladder may act as sound chamber Figure 12.7: Weberian apparatus for transmitting swim bladder vibrations to ear. Figure 12.8: Weberian ossicles.
Tetrapod Lungs • Diaphragmatic muscles pull the liver posteriorly via an attachment to the posthepatic septum in crocodilians • Most turtles also use diaphragmatic muscles to alter volume of cavity within the shell.
Avian Lungs • Birds- modified lungs and ducts • Air sacs associated with lungs • Increase respiratory capacity for flight Figure 12.9: Lower respiratory tract of bird.
Trachea • Passageway to lungs • Larynx- voice box at head • Laryngeal cartilages • Sound produced- vocal sac • Snake hissing- expulsion of air from lungs Figure 12.10: Human trachea and larynx (see book figure 13.13b).
Trachea • Birds- Syrinx instead of larynx • Lower end of trachea • Not homologous to larynx • Incapable of producing sound • Mammals- man has larynx • Different cartilages • Epiglottis over glottis to larynx • Diaphragm Figure 12.11: Asymmetrical bronchotracheal syrinx of duck (book figure 13.16).
Accessory Respiratory Organs • Yolk sac • In embryo • Skin • Many fish and amphibians • Ex: African Clawed frog (Xenopus)- chin barbels • Rectum & Cloaca • Highly vascularized in some fish • Ex: Aquatic turtles
