Lecture 3 - Respiration Flashcards
taken into the body via respiratory process
oxygen
process by which organisms exchange gases with their environment to produce energy
respiration
Three types of respiration
- cellular respiration
- internal respiration
- external respiration
- muscles between the ribs
- involved in breathing
- chest cavity expand, lowering volume of air inside causing inhalation
intercostal muscles
diaphragm, rib cage and chest wall relax and return to their original position, which expels the air from the lungs.
quiet exhalation
what happens during exhalation
diaphragm, rib cage, and chest wall relax and return to original position
- lined with epithelium
- Tiny air sacs at the end of the bronchioles (tiny branches of air tubes in the lungs)
- where the lungs and the blood exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide during
alveoli
gas exchange in internal respiration
blood and cells
gas exchange in external respiration
environment and lungs
Three steps in cellular respiration
- glycolysis
- krebs cycle / citric acid cycle
- electron transport chain
what happens in glycolysis
glucose to pyruvic acid
what happens in krebs cycle
pyruvic acid to NADH
Types of Respiratory Structures
- diffusion across body surfaces
- tracheal systems
- branchial systems
- book lungs and book gills
- mantle cavity
organisms with diffusion across body surfaces type of respiration
- protozoans
- sponges
- cnidarians
- flatworms
- annelids
surface area in diffusion across body surfaces type of respiration
surface area > volume of body
mechanism of diffusion across body surfaces type of respiration
- direct simple diffusion
- cutaneous respiration
direct simple diffusion
across moist body surfaces
cutaneous respiration
directly through the moist skin
- animal takes in O2 through its surface
- animal eliminates CO2 through its surface
diffusion across body surfaces
- gases go in or out of the spiracles
- gases are exchanged through the tissues at the tips of the branches
tracheal systems
organisms with tracheal systems
- insects
- arachnids
structure in tracheal systems
tracheae
mechanism of tracheal systems
air enters through spiracles and diffuse through tracheae to reach cells
- opening in the body surface
- can be opened/closed voluntarily
- air enters through body movements (flying)
spiracles
how does air enter the body of animals with tracheal systems
movement (flying)
tracheal system
spiracles -> tracheae -> tracheoles
tracheal system is __ of the circulation of the body
independent
direct, most efficient system among all active animals
tracheal system
- countercurrent system
- found in aquatic species
branchial systems
organisms with branchial systems
- mollusks
- crustaceans
- annelids
structure in branchial systems
- dermal papulae
- branchial tufts
- internal gills
projections of the coelom that serve in respiration and waste removal
dermal papulae
used to create both feeding and respiratory currents, offer a large surface area for gas exchange.
branchial tufts
structure formed from the outgrowth of pharynx inside the body
- used to increase the rate of diffusion of gases and help in counter-current mechanism
Internal gills
mechanism of branchial systems
countercurrent system
air or water flows through the lamellae
book lungs and book gills
difference between book lungs and book gills
book lungs - internal
book gills - external
organisms with book lungs and book gills
- arachnids
- horseshoe crabs
structure in book lungs and book gills
stacked lamellae
mechanism of book lungs and book gills
- air or water flows through lamellae
- countercurrent flow if blood and air
air enters to the mantle cavity via a breathing hole (pneumostome)
mantle cavity
organisms with mantle cavity
gastropods
structure of mantle cavity
ctenidia
breathing hole in mantle cavity
pneumostome
secrete material for shells
mantle
Respiratory pigments
- hemocyanin
- hemoglobin
where does hemocyanin perform better
cold environmets with low oxygen pressure
where does hemoglobin perform better
oxygen rich environments
what does hemocyanin contain
contains copper linking other parts of the molecule
what does hemoglobin contain
iron surrounded by atoms of carbon, nitrogen, and hydrogen
what does hemocyanin bind with
oxygen non cooperatively most of the time
what does hemoglobin bind with
oxygen cooperatively all of the time
efficiency of hemocyanin in binding with oxygen
1/4 as efficient as hemoglobin
how is hemocyanin found
free floating in blood
how is hemoglobin found
connected to red blood cells
Other unique adaptations
- respiratory pigment
- anaerobic respiration
ATP in aerobic respiration
36-38 ATP
ATP in anaerobic respiration
2 ATP
example of organisms with anaerobic respiration
roundworms (endoparasites in intestine)
found in higher forms
circulatory system
components of circulatory system
- pump
- arterial distribution system
- capillaries (interfacing with cells)
- venous reservoir and return system
used in distribution
arterial distribution system
used for recovery
venous reservoir and return system
important factor in the design of the circulatory system
size
where does the circulatory system of earthworms rely on
peristaltic movement
functions as heart in earthworms
dorsal vessel
where do dorsal vessels in earthworms run along
anterior region
where do ventral vessels in earthworms run along
posterior region
Two types of circulatory system
- open circulatory system
- closed circulatory system
- pump blood into a hemocoel with the blood diffusing back to the circulatory system between cells
- common to molluscs and arthropods
open circulatory system
where are open circulatory system common
- molluscs
- arthropods
where is the blood pumped to in open circulatory system
hemocoel
what is pumped in open circulatory systems
hemolymph
hemolymph
mix of blood and interstitial fluid
- blood is pumped by a hearth through vessels, and does not normally fill body cavities
- found in vertebrates and a few invertebrates
closed circulatory system
where is blood pumped in closed circulatory system
by heart through vessels
how is hemocoel formed
fusion of primary blastocoel with coelom
mesoderm in closed circulatory system
expanding
mesoderm in open circulatory system
restricted
