Exchange of materials with the environment • Overview: Trading with the Environment • Every organism must exchange materials with its environment and this exchange ultimately occurs at the cellular level • In unicellular organisms the exchange of materials occurs directly with the environment • However, for most of the cells making up multicellular organisms direct exchange with the environment is not possible as they are not in direct contact with the environment. • Multicellular animals thus need structures specialized for exchange with the outside and a means of transporting materials from these structures to all of the body’s cells.

Radial canal Mouth 5 cm Figure 42.2 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Open and Closed Circulatory Systems Open circulatory system • More complex animals have one of two types of circulatory systems: open or closed • In insects, other arthropods, and most molluscs blood bathes the organs directly in an open circulatory system. • Both of these types of systems have three basic components Heart – A circulatory fluid (blood) Hemolymph in sinuses surrounding ograns – A set of tubes (blood vessels) Anterior vessel – A muscular pump (the heart) Figure 42.3a Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Lateral vessels Ostia Tubular heart (a) An open circulatory system Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 2 Closed circulatory system Survey of Vertebrate Circulation • In a closed circulatory system blood is confined to vessels and is distinct from the interstitial fluid (the fluid that surrounds the cells). • Closed systems are more efficient at transporting circulatory fluids to tissues and cells because pressure can be maintained more easily. Heart Interstitial fluid Small branch vessels in each organ • Blood flows in a closed cardiovascular system consisting of blood vessels and a two- to fourchambered heart. Dorsal vessel (main heart) Auxiliary hearts Figure 42.3b • Humans and other vertebrates have a closed circulatory system often called the cardiovascular system Ventral vessels (b) A closed circulatory system Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Fishes • Arteries carry blood to capillaries the sites of chemical exchange between the blood and interstitial fluid. • Capillaries are extremely thin-walled blood vessels. • Veins return blood from capillaries to the heart. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • A fish heart has two main chambers – One ventricle (the chamber from which blood flows out of the heart) and one atrium (the chamber in the heart blood enters into) • Blood pumped from the ventricle travels to the gills, where it picks up O2 and disposes of CO2 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 3 Amphibians • Frogs and other amphibians have a threechambered heart, with two atria and one ventricle • The ventricle pumps blood into a forked artery that splits the ventricle’s output into the pulmocutaneous (lung and skin) circuit and the systemic (rest of the body) circuit. • Because there is only one ventricle a mix of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood is pumped to the tissues. • Vertebrate circulatory systems FISHES AMPHIBIANS REPTILES (EXCEPT BIRDS) MAMMALS AND BIRDS Gill capillaries Lung and skin capillaries Lung capillaries Lung capillaries Artery A Atrium (A) Systemic Vein circulation Systemic capillaries Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Pulmocutaneous circuit Gill circulation Heart: ventricle (V) Right systemic aorta Pulmonary circuit A A V Right V Left Right Systemic circuit Systemic capillaries Left A Systemic V aorta Left Systemic capillaries Pulmonary circuit A V Right A V Left Systemic circuit Systemic capillaries Figure 42.4 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Reptiles (Except Birds) Mammals and Birds • Reptiles have double circulation with a pulmonary circuit (lungs) and a systemic circuit, but there is still only a single ventricle although it is partially divided reducing mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood. • In all mammals and birds the ventricle is completely divided into separate right and left chambers • Turtles, snakes, and lizards have a threechambered heart. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • The left side of the heart pumps and receives only oxygen-rich blood while the right side receives and pumps only oxygen-poor blood Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 4 Four-chambered heart • A powerful four-chambered heart was an essential adaptation of the endothermic way of life characteristic of mammals and birds. • Keeping oxygen rich and oxygen depleted blood separated enables oxygen to be delivered to the tissues more efficiently. • Vertebrate circulatory systems FISHES AMPHIBIANS REPTILES (EXCEPT BIRDS) MAMMALS AND BIRDS Gill capillaries Lung and skin capillaries Lung capillaries Lung capillaries Artery Pulmocutaneous circuit Gill circulation Heart: ventricle (V) A Atrium (A) Systemic Vein circulation Systemic capillaries Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Right systemic aorta Pulmonary circuit A A V Right V Left Right Systemic circuit Systemic capillaries Left A Systemic V aorta Left Systemic capillaries Pulmonary circuit A V Right A V Left Systemic circuit Systemic capillaries Figure 42.4 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Mammalian Circulation: The Pathway Mammalian Circulation: The Pathway • Heart valves dictate a one-way flow of blood through the heart by preventing blood flowing backwards. • Oxygen-rich blood from the lungs travels through through the pulmonary vein and enters the heart at the left atrium. It then is pumped by the left ventricle via the aorta to the body tissues. • Blood begins its flow with the right ventricle pumping blood to the lungs via the pulmonary artery. • In the lungs the blood loads O2 and unloads CO2 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Blood returns to the heart from the body via the anterior and posterior venae cavae (singular vena cava) through the right atrium.

Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 6 • During the cardiac cycle first both atria and ventricles relax and blood flows into the atria and from the atria into the ventricles. The AV valves are open and semilunar valves are closed. • The cardiac cycle • Then the atria contract and the ventricles remain relaxed so the blood from the atria flows into the ventricles. 0.1 sec Semilunar valves open 0.3 sec 0.4 sec • Finally, the semilunar valves open and the AV valves close.

SA node (pacemaker) Bundle branches AV node Heart apex Purkinje fibers ECG Figure 42.8 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Arteries have thick muscular walls because they must withstand the high pressure of blood pumped from the heart. • Veins have thinner walls that can be squeezed by surrounding muscles and also valves that prevent blood flowing backwards. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • In the thinly walled veins blood flows back to the heart mainly as a result of muscle action Direction of blood flow in vein (toward heart) Valve (open) Skeletal muscle • Capillaries have extremely thin walls to facilitate the transfer of materials across them.

It is slowest in the capillary beds as a result of the high resistance and large total crosssectional area • The critical exchange of substances is between the blood and interstitial fluid. It takes place • Blood is a connective tissue with several kinds of cells suspended in a liquid matrix called plasma • The cellular elements occupy about 45% of the volume of blood. across the thin endothelial walls of the capillaries. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Plasma Cellular Elements • Blood plasma is about 90% water • Suspended in blood plasma are two classes of cells • Among its many solutes are inorganic salts in the form of dissolved ions, sometimes referred to as electrolytes and • Plasma proteins which influence blood pH, osmotic pressure, and viscosity. – Red blood cells, which transport oxygen – White blood cells, which function in defense • A third cellular element, platelets are fragments of cells that are involved in clotting • Various types of plasma proteins also function in lipid transport, immunity, and blood clotting.

Lymphoid stem cells Myeloid stem cells Basophils B cells T cells Lymphocytes Eosinophils Neutrophils Erythrocytes Figure 42.16 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Platelets Monocytes Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 10 Blood Clotting Respiratory structures • When the endothelium of a blood vessel is damaged the clotting mechanism begins. • Animals require large, moist respiratory surfaces for the adequate diffusion of respiratory gases between their cells and the respiratory medium, either air or water. • Platelets adhere to collagen fibers in the connective tissue and release a substance that makes nearby platelets sticky. • Platelets form a plug in the opening. In addition, a cascade of complex reactions converts fibrinogen to fibrin. Threads of fibrin form a mesh patch that seals the opening Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Gas exchange can occur across the skin, but specialized structures (lungs and gills) and common.

Lung volume increases as the rib muscles and diaphragm contract. Rib cage expands as rib muscles contract Air inhaled Rib cage gets smaller as rib muscles relax Air exhaled Lung Diaphragm INHALATION Diaphragm contracts (moves down) EXHALATION Diaphragm relaxes (moves up) Figure 42.24 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 12 How a Bird Breathes • Besides lungs, bird have eight or nine air sacs that function as bellows that keep air flowing through the lungs. Air Air Anterior air sacs Trachea Posterior air sacs Lungs • In birds air passes through the lungs in one direction only • Every exhalation completely renews the air in the lungs. Air flows in only one direction and a countercurrent blood flow system maximizes oxygen extraction. Lungs Air tubes (parabronchi) in lung 1 mm • As a result, bird lungs are more efficient than mammalian lungs. EXHALATION Air sacs empty; lungs fill INHALATION Air sacs fill Figure 42.25 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Control of breathing in humans Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Control of Breathing in Humans • The main breathing control centers are located in two regions of the brain, the medulla oblongata and the pons. The 1 control center in the medulla sets the basic rhythm, and a control center in the pons moderates it, smoothing out the transitions between inhalations and exhalations. • The centers in the medulla regulate the rate and depth of breathing in response to pH changes in the cerebrospinal fluid Nerve impulses trigger 2 muscle contraction. Nerves from a breathing control center in the medulla oblongata of the brain send impulses to the diaphragm and rib muscles, stimulating them to contract and causing inhalation. • The medulla adjusts breathing rate and depth to match metabolic demands. Carotid arteries Figure Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Breathing control centers Cerebrospinal The medulla’s control center fluid also helps regulate blood CO2 level. Sensors in the medulla detect changes in the pH (reflecting CO2 concentration) 4 of the blood and cerebrospinal fluid bathing the surface of the brain. Nerve impulses relay changes in 5 CO2 and O2 concentrations. Other sensors in the walls of the aorta Pons and carotid arteries in the neck detect changes in blood pH and send nerve impulses to the medulla. Medulla In response, the medulla’s breathing oblongata control center alters the rate and depth of breathing, increasing both to dispose of excess CO2 or decreasing both if CO2 levels are depressed. In a person at rest, these nerve impulses result in 3 about 10 to 14 inhalations per minute. Between inhalations, the muscles 42.26relax and the person exhales. Aorta Diaphragm Rib muscles 6 The sensors in the aorta and carotid arteries also detect changes in O2 levels in the blood and signal the medulla to increase the breathing rate when levels become very low. Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 13 Control of breathing in humans O2 and CO2 transport • Sensors in the aorta and carotid arteries monitor O2 and CO2 concentrations in the blood and exert secondary control over breathing. • The metabolic demands of many organisms require that the blood transport large quantities of O2 and CO2 • A gas always diffuses from a region of higher partial pressure to a region of lower partial pressure • In the lungs and in the tissues O2 and CO2 diffuse from where their partial pressures are higher to where they are lower Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings Respiratory Pigments Hemoglobin structure • Respiratory pigments are proteins that transport oxygen and they greatly increase the amount of oxygen that blood can carry. • Like all respiratory pigments Hemoglobin must reversibly bind O2, loading O2 in the lungs and unloading it in other parts of the body • The respiratory pigment of almost all vertebrates is the protein hemoglobin, contained in the erythrocytes. Heme group Iron atom O2 loaded in lungs O2 unloaded In tissues Figure 42.28 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings O2 O2 Polypeptide chain Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 14 • Loading and unloading of O2 depend on cooperation between the subunits of the hemoglobin molecule • Cooperative O2 binding and release is evident in the dissociation curve for hemoglobin • A drop in pH occurs when CO2 reacts with water in red blood cells and forms carbonic acid. The reduced pH lowers the affinity of hemoglobin for O2 • The binding of O2 to one subunit induces the other subunits to bind O2 with more affinity (a) PO2 and Hemoglobin Dissociation at 37°C and pH 7.4 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings O2 saturation of hemoglobin (%) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings O2 unloaded from hemoglobin during normal 80 metabolism O2 reserve that can be unloaded from 60 hemoglobin to tissues with high 40 metabolism 100 0 0 20 40 60 80 100 Lungs Figure 42.29a, b O2 saturation of hemoglobin (%) PO2 (mm Hg) Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings • Hemoglobin also helps transport CO2 and assists in buffering. 20 Tissues duringTissues at rest exercise (b) pH and Hemoglobin Dissociation Carbon Dioxide Transport • Most CO2 diffuses into the blood plasma and then into erythrocytes and is ultimately released in the lungs 100 pH 7.4 80 Bohr shift: Additional O2 released from pH 7.2 hemoglobin at lower pH (higher CO2 concentration) 60 40 20 0 0 20 60 80 40 PO2 (mm Hg) 100 Copyright © 2005 Pearson Education, Inc. publishing as Benjamin Cummings 15
