circulation & gas exchange, osmoregulation & excretion
-
-
gas exchange, uptake of molecular O2 and discharge of CO2 to the environment
partial pressure is exerted by a gas in a mixture of gases. Gas goes from high partial to a lower partial region
-
sponges, flatworms, cnidarians. b/c their cells are close to the external environment & gases diffuse more quickly
-
gills in aquatic animals
-
ventilation is a process that maintains partial pressure gradients of O2 and CO2 across gills for gas exchange
-
ex: fishes use swimming and coordination movement of the mouth and the gills cover to ventilate the gills
the gas exchange is maximized by countercurrent exchange the exchange of heat between two fluids that flow in opposite direction
lungs are localized respiratory organs, and they are sub-divided into numerous pockets.
lungs don't come in contact with other body parts, so the gap must be bridged by the circulatory system that transports gases between lungs and the body
-
-
-
breathing ventilates the lungs, and it alternates inhalation and exhalation of air
positive pressure breathing inflates lungs with forced airflow, used by amphibians
In inhalation, the muscles lower the floor of the oral cavity, & draws in air through the nostrils
-
exhalation, air is forced back out by the elastic recoil of the lungs & by compression of the muscular body wall
negative pressure breathing, air pulled into lungs, mammals use this pressure breathing
-
inhalation, is active & requires work
-
-
tidal volume, air that is inhaled & exhaled with each branch
vital capacity, tidal volume of maximum inhalation & exhalation
residual volume, remaining air after a forced exhalation
osmoregulation, animals control solute & balance water gain & loss
osmosis and osmolarity
osmosis, solutions separated by a membrane that differ in solute concentration
isoosmotic, two solutions have the same permeability, & there would be no net movement of water
hyperosmotic, two solutions differ in osmolairty and the solution with the highest concentration
hypoosmotic, is the dilute solution
-
-
-
animals excrete ammonia, urea, or uric acid
aquatic animals excrete ammonia b/c they have access to water & it can only be tolerated in low concentrations
-
insects, land snails, & reptiles excrete uric acid. bird droppings are mixed with uric acid & brown feces
uric acid is nontoxic dos not dissolve in water, when excreted it can be semisolid with little water loss
-
-
filtration, the excretory tubule collects filtrate from the blood. blood pressure forces water and salt across a selectively permeable membrane of a cluster of capillaries into the excretory tubule
Reabsorption, recovers water & molecules from the filtrate & they are returned to the body
secretion, nonessential solutes & waste are extracted from body fluids & are added to the excretory tubule
excretion, processed filtrate leave the system
