  5. 5 CO transport in blood 2 carbonic acid bicarbonate CO2 + H2O H2CO3 H+ + HCO-3 HCO-3 H++ CO2-3 carbonate CO2 + OH- HCO-3 Proportions of CO2 , HCO-3 depend on pH, T, ionic strength of blood At normal pH, Temp: 80% of CO2 in form of bicarbonate ion HCO-3 5-10% dissolved in blood 10% in form of carbamino groups (bound to amino groups of hemoglobin)

  6. CO2 transfer at tissue 6 -Chloride Shift -Carbonic Anhydrase • enters/leaves blood as CO2 (more rapid diffusion) • passes thru RBCs • CO2 produced = O2 released  no change in pH Band III protein oxygenation of hemo: acidify interior (release H+ ) maintain charge balance only in RBC, not plasma deox of hemo: increase pH (bind H+) (13-10)

  7. 7 Jacob-Stewart Cycle (13-17) Move acid in or out of RBC (e.g., help buffer CO2 rise in plasma)

  8. 8 Lung Ventilation (13-23)

  9. 9 Panting Dogs? Shakes 2002 Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1972

  10. 10 Mammalian Ventilation -lungs are elastic bags -suspended in pleural cavity within thoracic cage (ribs and diaphragm define, fluid lining) -low volume pleural “space” between lung and thoracic wall -negative pressure to inflate lungs (increase volume) -pneumothorax

  11. 11 Mammalian Ventilation (13-28)

  12. 12 Mammalian Ventilation -expiration usually passive (13-30)

  13. 13 Mammalian Lung Alveoli and Capillaries RBC(not to scale) Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1997

  14. 14 Pulmonary Surfactants -Reduce liquid surface tension in alveoli -Allows for compliance and low-cost expansion of lung -Lipoproteins -keep alveoli from getting stuck closed Atelectasis = collapsed lung -premature babies may need artificial surfactant

  15. 15 Frog Ventilation -Positive pressure ventilation 1. Into mouth (buccal cavity) 2. Close nares, open glottis and force air into lungs by raising buccal floor (13-33)

  16. 16 Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1972 Mammal Lung Alveoli Bird Lung Parabronchi

  17. 17 Bird Ventilation -lung volume changes very little, air sacs instead (13-32) Unidirectional (13-32)

  18. 18 Bird Lung Ventilation Unidirectional!! ~ Continuous ventilation Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1997

  19. 19 Relative Gill Surface Area in Fishes Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1997

  20. 20 Fish Gill Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1997

  21. 21 Fish Gill -breathing in water -need much higher ventilation rate -unidirectional -pump water across gills (or ram ventilation) Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1997 (see your figure 13-40)

  22. 22 Lake Titicaca Frog (Bolivian Navy; Peru-Bolivia border) Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1997

  23. 23 Rate and Depth Regulation -Primarily via CO2 changes (central) -Peripheral Chemoreceptors PO2, PCO2, pH -Innervate Medullary Respiratory Center (phrenic nerve to diaphragm and intercostals) -Emotions, sleep, light, temperature, speech, volition, etc. (13-46) -O2 controls respiration in aquatic vertebrates

  24. 24 Rate and Depth Regulation (13-48) Long term -Central Chemoreceptors

  25. 25 To Diaphragm alveolar (13-45)

  26. 26 Hering-Breuer reflex • Stimulation of stretch receptors inhibits medullary inspiratory center -Prevent overinflation -Ectotherms often breathe intermittently

  27. 27 1 2 2 1 To Diaphragm (13-45)

  28. 28 Extreme Conditions Student - Hypoxia, non-aquatic responses (e.g., altitude) I: • Drop in blood PO2 stimulates chemoreceptors  increased lung ventilation • But this increases CO2 elimination and pH increases, leading to reduced ventilation • Over time (a week), bicarbonate released to bring pH back down even with increased ventilation • Chemoreceptors reset to higher pH/lower CO2 • Hb with increased affinity for O2 • DPG levels increased to maintain Hb ability to unload O2at tissues (reduced Hb O2 affinity)

  29. 29 Extreme Conditions Student - Hypoxia, non-aquatic responses (e.g., altitude) II: • Systemic vasodilation and increased cardiac output (short-term) • Blood volume increases by 1/3 (chronic hypoxia) • Increase number of RBCs via erythropoietin (produced in liver in kidney in response to low blood PO2) action on bone marrow • Vascular endothelial growth factors increase capillary density • Pulmonary vasoconstriction leads to: • 1. increased pulmonary BP • 2. hypertrophied right ventricle • 3. large lung to body ratio

  30. 30 Student Oxygen dissociation curves and altitude Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1997

  31. 31 Chapter 14 Osmoregulation -Ionic and Osmotic Balance -Kidney Function

  32. 32 Osmoregulation -life arose in salty sea -extracellular fluids ~ similar -dist’n limited by temperature and osmotic pressure (dehydration, ionic composition) -terrestrial organisms (and their descendents) regulate internal environment (homeostasis) -salt and water regulation (waste excretion) -kidneys, salt glands, gills

  33. 33 Obligatory Osmotic Exchanges 1-Gradients -Frog in freshwater -Fish in ocean 2-Surface-to-Volume Ratio -Small animals dehydrate or hydrate more rapidly -Skin, and Respiratory surface (higher metabolism with higher per/gram respiratory surface) 3-Integument Permeability -Transcellular or Paracellular -Aquaporins = water channel proteins -Frogs vs. Lizards, Pelvic Patch etc.

  34. 34 Obligatory Osmotic Exchanges 4-Feeding, Metabolism, Excretion -metabolic waste products ammonia, urea, etc. -metabolic water (desert!) -ingestion of salts -kidneys, salt glands, gills (more later) 5-Respiration -internalize respiratory surface -temporal countercurrent system (dry and cool IN, becomes moist and warm; recover) (countercurrent blood flow also) -temperature regulation vs. water conservation -ectotherm vs. endotherm (in deserts)

  35. 35 Osmoregulation -Water Breathing 1. Fresh Ambystoma tigrinum Blood osmolarity 200-300 mosm/L Water ~ 50 mosm/L - hyperosmotic animals, danger of swelling, losing salts - get their water across skin - dilute urine - active uptake of salts across epithelium - fish gills, frog skin, etc.

  36. 36 Osmoregulation -Water Breathing 2. Salt (~1,000 mosm/L) Most marine vertebrates hypo-osmotic (e.g., teleost or bony fishes) - danger of losing water, gaining too many salts - drink saltwater - excess salts actively secreted (gills, kidneys) • chloride cells for salt secretion • (Pelis et al. paper)

  37. 37 Osmoregulation -Air Breathing Have to lose water to allow gas exchange - Marine reptiles and marine birds can drink seawater and secrete salts in high [ ] - SALT GLANDS - Mammals rely on kidney (14-8)

  38. 38 Osmoregulation -Air Breathing Desert Mammals Behavior and Physiology (14-9) • Kangaroo Rat • Reduce Activity • Remain in Cool Burrow • Highly concentrated urine • Very dry feces (rectal absorption) • Metabolic water

  39. 39 Excretion of Nitrogeneous waste -When amino acids catabolized, amino group (-NH2) is released (deamination) -If not reused, need to excrete because toxic -Three main ways to dispose: 1-ammonia (most toxic, requires lots water) ‘ammonotelic’ (NH3) 2-urea (need 10% of water of NH3, but costs ATP) ‘ureotelic’ (2N) 3-uric acid (white pasty substance, low solubility, need 1% water as NH3) ‘uricotelic’ (4N) -Disposal depends on water availability 

  40. 40 Excretion of Nitrogeneous waste Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1997

  41. 41 Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1997

  42. 42 Excretion of Nitrogeneous waste -ammonia converted to non-toxic glutamine in the body for transport -ammonia toxic because -increases pH, -competes with K+ for ion transport, -alters synaptic transmission (14-31)

  43. 43 Osmoregulatory Mechanisms Apical surface (faces lumen and outside world) Basal surface (faces body and extracellular fluid) - Active movement of ions/salts requires ATP - Movement of water follows movement of ions/salts (14-11)
