part B Flashcards
cellular respiration
oxidative process that occurs in cells
external respiration
exchange of ozygen and carbon diaoxide between organism and environment
lungs positive pressure
fishes fore air to enter
negative pressure lungs
thoracic cavity pulls air into lungs
myoglobin
oxygen-binding protien in muscles
Bhor effect, in small and large mammals
small mammals: high respiratory frequency; high cellular respiration; high additional release of oxygen; low pH(right shift
large mammals: low respiration frequency; low cellular respiration; low additional release of oxygen; high pH (left shift)
RAM ventilation
keep swimming, mouth open
spiracle
the respiratory cavity of the shark while resting at the bottom of the ocean.
goblet cells
secrete miscous fluid
cilia
make water relative to the cell in a regular movement of the cilia
alveoli contains..
..collagen and elastin
law of Fick
postulates that the diffusive flux goes from a high-concentration area to a low-concentration area proportional to the concentration gradient.
Dalton’s law
the total pressure of a mixture of gases is equal to the sum of the partial pressures of the individual component gases.
hyposmotic environment
cell swell.
hyperosmotic environment
cell shring
osmoconformers
keep internal fluids isotonic to the environment. No regulating osmotic pressure
stenohaline
can live only in a certain salinity range. small, narrow.eg. nonmigrating gish, spider crab
euryhaline
survive in a wide range of salinity. broad large. eg. salmon, shore crab
hyperosmotic regulator
maintains fluids more concentrated than the surrounding
fish from salty water to freshwater
- keep salt concentration of their bodies higher than that of the water
- hyperosmotic regulation
- mucus layer, almost waterproof
- water pumped out by kidney
fish from freshwater to salty
- Lose water and gain salt
- hyposmotic regulators
- maintain bodyfluids at a lower concentration than environment
- for water loss, fish drinks water absorbed in intestines to blood and secreted to the gills
homeostasis
the state of steady internal physical and chemical conditions maintained by living systems (control systems)
osmoconformers owned by
invertebrates
osmoregulators owned by
vertebrates
Reptiles and birds produce a paste-like urine which is not toxic and largely consists of…
… uric acid
primary functions kidney
filter blood and produce urine
kidneys secrete hormone..
Erythropoietin, increases the rate of production of red blood cells in response to falling levels of oxygen in the tissues.
exchange process in renal nephrons
- glomerular filtration: is the bulk flow of protein free plasma
- Reabsorption: from the lumen of the renal tubules to the interstitial fluid
- secretion: from peritubular fluid to the lumen of the renal tubules
