lecture 6 Flashcards
what are the partial pressures of atmospheric gases
78% N2, 21% O2, 0.03% CO2
what is the atmospheric pressure and what are the conditions
0% humidity, includes vapour pressure, 760 mmHg
what is hyperoxia, hypoxia, normoxia
-Hypoxia (decreased inspired O2), hyperoxia (increased inspired O2), normoxia (normal inspired O2)
what is hypocapnia, hypercapnia, normocapnia
Hypocapnia (decreased inspired CO2), hypercapnia (increased inspired CO2), normocapnia (normal inspired CO2)
what are the characteristics of air
30x more O2 than water, O2 diffuses 10,000x better in air than water
what are the characteristics of O2 in water
water is 1000x denser than air, 50x more vicous than air, more energy needed to move through water
what are the general forms of respiration
active ventilation, passive ventilation, tidal ventilation (uni-directional and non-directional)
what are external gills found on
tadpoles and octopus
tadpoles have external gills early on, lose them for internal gills, lose gills altogether
how do external gills work
passive and unidirectional
structures or tentacles flap around, tubes pumping water in and out
what are internal gills found on
aquatic invertebrates (squid)
how do internal gills on squid work
gills inside mantle cavity that expands to suck water in through opening at bottom, ventilate the gills - cavity contracts to push water out bottom and propel squid
how do internal gills on crustaceans work
gills at legs between carapace and body wall - scaphognathite at head that propels water forward, negative pressure in body cavity sucks water in to ventilate gills
how do external gills in spiders (terrestrial) work
book lungs have epithelium - air flow between them to ventilate gills, air comes back out
how do internal gills on fish that use exclusively internal gills work
water goes in through mouth - buccal cavity - through gills - operculum cavity - opercular opening/gill slit
where are the gills positioned in the fish
under operculum
