Circulation, Osmoregulation, and Excretion
Chapter 42
Capilaries
microscopic vessels with very thin, porous walls.
Blood
-
Blood pressure
generated by the contraction of the heart vessel, exerting a force in all directions
-
-
-
-
Lymph circulation
-
Lymphatic system
Complex system of fluid drainage and transport, and immune response and disease resistance
Fluid that is forced out of the bloodstream during normal circulation is filtered through lymph nodes to remove bacteria

Organisms that produce
Ammonia
Animals that excrete ammonia need access to lots of water because ammonia can be tolerated only at low level concentrations
-
Urea
-
Product of an energy-consuming metabolic cycle that combines ammonia with carbon dioxide in the liver
Uric acid watses
Excreted by insects, land snails, many reptiles, and birds
-
-
More expensive than urea, requiring considerable ATP for synthesis of ammonia
Freshwater animals
Body fluids must be hyperosmotic because they cannot tolerate salt concentrations as low as lake or river water
-
-
-
Osmosis
General term for the process by which animals control solute concentrations and balance water gain and loss
Process
Movement of water through a semi-permeable membrane from a region of high concentration to a region of low concentration
Passive transport,does not require energy to be applied
