Presentation Transcript

  1. Animal Structure and Function

  2. Thermoregulation • Ectotherms • Obtain body heat from the environment. • Poikilotherms • Invertebrates, amphibians, reptiles and fish. • “cold blooded” • Endotherms • Generate their own body heat. • Homeotherms • Mammals • Warmblooded

  3. Temperature Regulation • Cooling evaporation • Sweating • Panting • Warming by metabolism • Shivering • Adjusting surface area • Changing the volume of blood flow • Countercurrent Exchange

  4. The Respiratory System • Direct contact with the environment • Cells have large surface areas with which they can have exchange with the environment. • Gills • Evaginated structures that create large surface areas. • Tracheae • Chitin lined tubes that permeate the body. • Oxygen enters the tracheae through opening called spiracles. • Lungs • Invaginated structures which allow gas exchange

  5. Human Respiration • Nose, pharynx, larynx • Trachea • Bronchi, bronchioles • Alveolus • Diffusion between alveolar chambers and blood. • Bulk flow of O2 • Diffusion between blood and cells • Bulk flow of CO2

  6. Circulatory System • Open Circulatory Systems • Blood is pumped into an internal cavity-hemocoel • The tissues and organs are bathed in hemolymph. • Hemolymph returns to the heart through holes called ostia. • Mollusks, insects • Closed Circulatory Systems • Blood is confined to vessels. • Annelida Octopuses, Squid, Vertebrate

  7. Human Circulatory System • Basics: • Arteries  arterioles  Capillaries Gas and waste exchange  Venules  Veins  Heart

  8. Pumping Blood Through the Heart • Right Atrium • Deoxygenated blood enters via the superior vena cava and inferior vena cava • Right Ventricle • Blood moves through the tricuspid valve (right atrioventricular valve or AV valve) to the right ventricle. • Right ventricle pumps the blood to the pulmonary artery through the pulmonary semilunar valve to the lungs. • Left Atrium • Oxygenated blood returns to the left Atrium through the pulmonary vein. • Left Ventricle • Blood moves through the bicuspid (mitral or left AV valve) to the left ventricle. • The blood is then pumped from the heart via the aorta through the aortic semilunar valve and to the body.
