  2. 2 Vertebrate Physiology 437 1. Feeding and Digestion (CH15) 2. ~Energy Expenditure (CH16) 3. Announcements… - Term paper 04 Dec. - Seminar write-up 09 Dec. - Powerpoint (file to us on 09 Dec.) - Oral Presentations 10 Dec. (8min) - Movie and Thanksgiving Assgt due Wed - Read Ch17 for Thurs lecture - Friday Physiology Seminar (calcium regulation in endothelial cells)

  3. 3 ABSORPTION: -Across epithelium of brush border (microvilli) -Glycocalyx has enzymes for final cleavage disaccharidases, aminopeptidases, phosphatases -Simple Diffusion 1 fat-soluble substances 2 small water soluble substances through regulated aquaporins 3 down concentration or electrochemical gradients -Facilitated Diffusion 1 monosaccharides and amino acids 2 transporter proteins 3 down conc. gradient or 4 coupled to Na+ gradient (Na/K-ATPase)

  4. 4 (15-37)

  5. 5 ABSORPTION -Active Transport -amino acids with ~specific transporters coupled to Na+ -Lipids -products cross into epithelial cells (monoglycerides, fatty acids, glycerol) -reconstructed into triglycerides -formed into chylomicrons using cholesterol and phospholipids -chylomicrons exocytosed -taken into central lacteal and into lymph system

  6. 6 Lipids ER Golgi Lacteal (15-38)

  7. 7 Nutrient Transport in Blood • lipids (chylomicrons) into blood from lymph at • thoracic duct • -sugars and amino acids into capillaries of villi • -to liver via hepatic portal vein • sugars converted to glycogen for storage

  8. 8 Water and Electrolyte Balance in Gut • Lots of water and electrolytes secreted into • lumen • Need to recover • Most via lower small intestine (ileum) • Osmotic gradient b/c absorb salts, carbos, amino acids • Tips of villi • Countercurrent exchange with high Na+ (Cl- follows) to • facilitate water reabsorption

  9. 9 Secretions etc. ileum (15-39) =

  10. 10 Nutritional Requirements… (Essential?)

  11. 11 Chapter 16 Energy Expenditure -temperature -size -activity

  12. 12 Metabolism -Chemical reactions in the body -Temperature dependent rates -Not 100% efficient, energy lost as heat (not ‘lost’ if used to maintain Tb) 1. Anabolic -creation, assembly, repair, growth (positive nitrogen balance) 2. Catabolic -energy release from complex molecules (carbos, fats, proteins) -energy storage in phosphate bonds (ATP) and metabolic intermediates (glucose, lactate)

  13. 13 Chemical Energy (16-1)

  14. 14 Metabolic Rate -measurable conversion of chemical energy into heat -used to understand: -energy budgets -dietary needs -body size implications -habitat effects -costs of various activities -mode of locomotion -cost of reproduction

  15. 15 Metabolic Rates -Basal Metabolic Rate, BMR -minimal environmental and physiological stress (appropriate ambient temperature, post-digestive, resting etc.) -Standard Metabolic Rate, SMR -similar to BMR, but at a given Tb -Field Metabolic Rate, FMR -average metabolic rate of animal in natural setting -hard to measure

  16. 16 Metabolic Rates Basal Metabolic Rate, BMR -important components: 1. Membrane form and function maintenance of electrochemical gradients -proton pumps in mitochondrial membranes -Na/K-ATPase pumps in plasma membrane 2. Protein synthesis 3. ATP formation

  17. 17 Specific Dynamic Action (SDA) -Metabolic Rate increases during digestion -2-3x resting metabolism in ectotherms (16-5) Think about infrequently feeding snakes...

  18. 18 Measuring Metabolism Direct Calorimetry -measure heat produced -known mass of water surrounding chamber -not often used (maybe for small birds, mammals) Indirect Calorimetry 1. Bomb calorimetry (food and waste) 2. Radioisotopes deuterium or tritium (H3) labelled water oxygen radioisotopes (O18) (doubly-labelled water) -measure loss of CO2 and water over time -can be used in the field -measure metabolism and water flux 4kJ = 1kcal Power (W)= J/s

  19. 19 Measuring Metabolism Respirometry -measure O2 consumption and CO2 production -assumes primarily aerobic metabolism -closed vs. open 4kJ = 1kcal Power (W)= J/s

  20. 20 lungs gills skin (16-3)

  21. 21 RQ, Respiratory Quotient Rate of CO2 production RQ= Rate of O2 consumption 4kJ = 1kcal Power (W)= J/s Value depends on substrate oxidized: Energy Storage

  22. 22 RE, Respiratory Exchange Ratio RE = instantaneous ratio of O2 consumption and CO2 production (16-4)

  23. 23 Metabolic Scope Aerobic Metabolic Scope = max sustainable metabolic rate / BMR -usually measured as O2 consumption -often = 10-15 x BMR -does not include anaerobic contributions -best measured at steady-state, sustainable levels

  24. 24 Aerobic Scope Mammal MAS (max aerobic speed) 7.5x that of Lizard MAS (of similar body size) Anaerobic Scope Mammal and Lizard maximal speed equivalent at a given body mass -ecological implications? -both tend to increase with increasing body mass

  25. 25 Oxygen Debt -repay anaerobic contribution to elevated metabolism -oxidize anaerobic products (e.g., lactate) (16-2)

  26. 26 VO2 Measurement - Before, during, and after exercise Desert Iguana Thomas Hancock: data and slides

  27. 27 Activity and Associated Oxygen Consumption EPOC: Excess Post-exercise Oxygen Consumption EEOC: Excess Exercise Oxygen Consumption VO2 EXERCISE RECOVERY 0 15 30 45 Time (min)

  28. 28 Activity and Associated Oxygen Consumption TEOC = Total Excess Oxygen Consumption = EEOC + EPOC EEOC EPOC VO2 EXERCISE RECOVERY 0 15 30 45 Time (min)

  29. 29 Muscle Lactate Exercise,

  30. Energy Budget Implications 30 • Costs for Exercise and Recovery:- A Single Bout: 15 seconds at Maximum intensity • Traditional Estimates: 0.7% of daily energy expenditure • Inclusion of EPOC: 4.6% of daily energy expenditure

  31. 31 Length of Bout is Important: VO2 Time (min)

  32. 32 VO2 Time (min)

  33. 33 VO2 Time (min)

  34. 34 VO2 Time (min)

  35. EPOC is now a large fraction of the net metabolic expenditure. 35 VO2 Time (min)

  36. 36 Phylogenetic Effects FMR (kJ/day) 11.8 100g reptile 100g mammal 142 100g bird 242 (Nagy, Girard, Brown 1999) Energy Budgets… Ecological Role…

  37. 37 Scaling Effects Allometry - changes in body proportions as animals get larger (mouse vs. elephant) Metabolic Rate - mass-specific metabolic rate decreases with increasing body mass (16-6) linear cubed squared

  38. 38 Knut Schmidt_Nielsen 1972 0.1mg/kg 0.2mg for 70 kg (a) = elephant freaked out and died (1960’s) -What is the correct dose? -Importance of Scaling!

  39. 39 (16-8)

  40. 40 Scaling How do morphology and metabolism change with body mass? Body mass Power Functions: Scaling exponent MR = aMb Metabolic rate Y-intercept (of log-log plot) Take log of both sides logMR = loga + b(logM) (Linearizes) Can look at mass-specific rates by dividing through by M

  41. 41 (16-8) MR = aMb b = 0.75 (slope) logMR = loga + b(logM)

  42. 42 (16-7)
