Chapters 40 & 41 – Animal Form, Function, and Nutrition
-
-
Coordination & Control
Endocrine system
-
→ slower, longer-lasting effects
Nervous system
-
→ faster, short-term responses
Homeostasis
maintenance of internal balance (e.g., temperature, pH, glucose)
-
Feedback systems:
Negative feedback → counteracts change (most common; e.g., thermoregulation)
Positive feedback → amplifies change (e.g., childbirth)
-
Thermoregulation
-
Endotherms → generate heat metabolically (birds, mammals)
Ectotherms → gain heat from environment (reptiles, fish, amphibians)
-
Adaptations:
Insulation (fur, feathers, fat)
Circulatory adjustments (vasodilation/constriction, countercurrent exchange)
Evaporative cooling (sweating, panting)
Behavioral (basking, burrowing)
Energy budgets:
depend on size, activity, environment
-
-
Animal Nutrition
Nutrition
→ process by which an organism obtains & uses food for energy, growth, and repair
-
Essential Nutrients
-
-
-
Minerals → inorganic nutrients (Ca, Fe, Na, K, etc.)
-
-
Digestive Systems
-
-
-
Human Digestive Tract
-
-
-
-
Large intestine → water recovery, formation of feces
-
Accessory Organs
Liver → produces bile, detoxifies
-
-
Regulation of Digestion
-
-
Secretin & CCK → coordinate pancreas, liver, gallbladder
-
Energy Balance
-
-
-
-
-
-
-
hormones: ghrelin (hunger), leptin/PYY (satiety), insulin (long-term regulation)
-
