Circulation and Respiration Unifying concepts of animal circulation The human cardiovascular system Unifying concepts of animal respiration The human respiratory system UNIFYING CONCEPTS OF ANIMAL CIRCULATION • Every organism must exchange materials with its environment, relying upon – diffusion, the spontaneous movement of molecules from an area of higher concentration to an area of lower concentration, and – a circulatory system, which facilitates the exchange of materials for all but the simplest animals. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Open and Closed Circulatory Systems • Circulatory systems typically consist of a – central pump, – vascular system, and – circulating fluid. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Open and Closed Circulatory Systems • In an open circulatory system, – the heart pumps blood into large open-ended vessels and – fluid circulates freely among cells. • Open circulatory systems are found in many invertebrates, including – arthropods and – most molluscs. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Open and Closed Circulatory Systems • In a closed circulatory system, blood – stays within a set of tubes and – is distinct from the interstitial fluid, the fluid that fills the spaces around cells. • Closed circulatory systems are found in – many invertebrates, including earthworms and octopuses, and – vertebrates. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.1 Vessels Interstitial fluid Vessels Capillaries Heart Heart Circulating fluid Arteriole Capillaries Tubular heart Artery (O2-rich blood) Venule Vein Vessels (a) Open circulatory system Atrium Ventricle Artery (O2-poor blood) (b) Closed circulatory system Heart Open and Closed Circulatory Systems • The cardiovascular system of vertebrates consists of the – heart and – blood vessels. • In the heart, – the atrium receives blood and – the ventricle pumps blood away from the heart. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Open and Closed Circulatory Systems • Blood is confined to three main types of blood vessels: 1. Arteries carry blood away from the heart into smaller arterioles as they approach the organs. 2. Capillaries are the site of exchange between blood and interstitial fluid. 3. Venules collect blood from the capillaries and converge to form veins, which return blood back to the heart. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. THE HUMAN CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM • In the human cardiovascular system, there are three main components: – 1. the central pump is the heart, – 2. the vascular system is the blood vessels, and – 3. the circulating fluid is the blood. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. The Path of Blood • Humans and other terrestrial vertebrates have a double circulation system consisting of – a pulmonary circuit between the heart and lungs and – a systemic circuit between the heart and the rest of the body. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.2 CO2 O2 CO2 CO2 Lung Lung O2 O2 Heart O2-rich blood O2 O2-poor blood CO2 (a) Pulmonary circuit (b) Systemic circuit The Path of Blood • One complete trip through the human cardiovascular system – takes about one minute and – requires two passes through the heart. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Figure 23.4 To body O2-rich blood O2-poor blood Know this! From body Right lung Left lung Right atrium Left atrium Valves Valves Right ventricle From body Left ventricle The Cardiac Cycle • The heart relaxes and contracts throughout our lives. – Diastole is the relaxation phase of the heart cycle. – Systole is the contraction phase. • A heart murmur is a sound that may indicate a defect in one or more of the heart valves. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

SYSTOLE The Pacemaker and the Control of Heart Rate • The pacemaker, or SA (sinoatrial) node, – sets the tempo of the heartbeat and – is composed of specialized muscle tissue in the wall of the right atrium. • Impulses from the pacemaker spread quickly through the walls of both atria, prompting the atria to contract at the same time. • The AV (atrioventricular) node – is a relay point that delays the signal and – sends impulses to the ventricles. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.6 Pacemaker (SA node) AV node Right atrium Right ventricle 1 Pacemaker generates 2 Impulses spread electrical impulses. through atria. 3 Impulses reach (a) The heart’s natural pacemaker Wire leading Heart to SA node (b) Artificial pacemaker Artificial pacemaker ventricles. The Pacemaker and the Control of Heart Rate • The impulses sent by the pacemaker can be – detected by electrodes placed on the skin and – recorded as an electrocardiogram (ECG or EKG). • In certain kinds of heart disease, the heart fails to maintain a normal rhythm. • The remedy for this failure of the electrical control of the heart is an artificial pacemaker, a small electronic device surgically implanted near the SA node. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Blood Vessels • If the heart is the body’s “pump,” then the “plumbing” is the system of arteries, veins, and capillaries. – Arteries carry blood away from the heart. – Veins carry blood toward the heart. – Capillaries allow for exchange between the bloodstream and tissue cells. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Blood Vessels • All blood vessels are lined by a thin layer of tightly packed epithelial cells. • Structural differences in the walls of the different kinds of blood vessels correlate with their different functions. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.7 From heart To heart Epithelium Valve Epithelium Epithelium Smooth muscle Smooth muscle Connective tissue Connective tissue Artery Venule Arteriole Capillary Vein Blood Flow through Arteries • The force that blood exerts against the walls of blood vessels is blood pressure. – Blood pressure pushes blood from the heart to the capillary beds. – A pulse is the rhythmic stretching of the arteries caused by the pressure of blood forced into the arteries during systole. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Blood Flow through Arteries • Optimal blood pressure for adults is – below 120 systolic and – below 80 diastolic. • High blood pressure, or hypertension, is persistent – systolic blood pressure higher than 140 and/or – diastolic blood pressure higher than 90. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Blood Flow through Capillary Beds • At any given time, only about 5–10% of the capillaries have a steady flow of blood, with the exception of the brain • Blood flow through capillaries may be diverted from one part of the body to another, depending on need. • This is called shunting • There are three main locations which demand blood: the brain, muscles, digestion • In general, the body does one of these at a time © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Blood Flow through Capillary Beds • The walls of capillaries are thin and leaky. – At the arterial end of the capillary, blood pressure pushes fluid rich in oxygen, nutrients, and other substances into the interstitial fluid. – At the venous end of the capillary, CO2 and other wastes diffuse from tissue cells into the interstitial fluid, and then into the capillary bloodstream. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Blood Return through Veins • Blood moves back toward the heart because of – surrounding skeletal muscles that compress the veins and – one-way valves that permit blood flow only toward the heart. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.9 To heart Valve (open) Skeletal muscle Valve (closed) Blood: know all of this • An adult human has about 5 L (11 pints) of blood. • By volume, blood is – a little less than half cells and – a little more than half plasma, consisting of about – 90% water and – 10% dissolved salts, proteins, and other molecules. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Red Blood Cells and Oxygen Transport • Anemia may result from – an abnormally low amount of hemoglobin or – a low number of red blood cells. • The hormone erythropoietin (EPO) boosts production of red blood cells. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. White Blood Cells and Defense • White blood cells (leukocytes) – fight infections, – are larger than red blood cells, – lack hemoglobin, and – are much less abundant than red blood cells (about 700 times fewer). © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.12b Colorized SEM White Blood Cells (cells that fight infection) Platelets and Blood Clotting • Blood contains two components that aid in clotting: 1. platelets, bits of cytoplasm pinched off from larger cells in the bone marrow, and 2. clotting factors released from platelets that convert fibrinogen, a protein found in plasma, into a threadlike protein called fibrin. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.12c Colorized SEM Platelets (bits of membrane-enclosed cytoplasm that aid clotting) Colorized SEM Fibrin Red blood cell Platelets and Blood Clotting • In the inherited disease hemophilia, excessive and sometimes fatal bleeding can occur from even minor cuts and bruises. • Hemophilia is caused by a genetic mutation in one of several genes that code for clotting factors. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Stem Cells and the Treatment of Leukemia • Leukemia – is cancer of white blood cells and – may require treatment using – radiation, – chemotherapy, and/or – bone marrow transplantation. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Cardiovascular Disease • The cardiovascular system contributes to homeostasis by – exchanging nutrients and wastes with the interstitial fluid, – controlling the composition of blood by moving it through the lungs, liver, and kidneys, – helping to regulate temperature by moving blood to or away from the skin, – distributing hormones, and – defending against foreign invaders. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Cardiovascular Disease • Cardiovascular disease – includes all diseases affecting the heart and blood vessels, – accounts for 40% of all deaths in the United States, and – kills more than 1 million people each year. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Cardiovascular Disease • Coronary arteries – supply the heart muscle and – can narrow or close, contributing to a heart attack. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.13 Aorta Coronary artery (supplies oxygen to the heart muscle) Dead muscle tissue Blockage Cardiovascular Disease • Atherosclerosis – is a chronic cardiovascular disease and – results from fatty deposits called plaque that develop in the inner walls of arteries, clogging the passages through which blood can flow. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.14 Passageway for blood Connective tissue Smooth tissue Partially blocked passageway Plaque Epithelium Normal artery Artery partially blocked by plaque Cardiovascular Disease • Cardiovascular disease – involves inherited factors but – can be reduced by – not smoking, – exercising regularly, and – eating a heart-healthy diet. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. UNIFYING CONCEPTS OF ANIMAL RESPIRATION • Cells using cellular respiration – need a steady supply of oxygen and – must continuously dispose of CO2. • The respiratory system promotes this gas exchange. Figure 23.UN01 CO2 O2 Environment Cell C6H12O6 Glucose 6 O2 Oxygen Cellular respiration 6 CO2 6 H2O ATP Carbon dioxide Water Energy The Structure and Function of Respiratory Surfaces • Animals can get oxygen from – the atmosphere, which contains about 21% oxygen, and – bodies of water, which contain about 3–5% oxygen. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. The Structure and Function of Respiratory Surfaces • Gas exchange occurs at the respiratory surface, which must be – large enough to take up oxygen for every cell in the body and – adapted to the lifestyle of the organism. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. The Structure and Function of Respiratory Surfaces • Moist skin is used as a respiratory surface in earthworms. • In aquatic environments, the main respiratory surfaces are – skin and – extensions of the body surface called gills. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.15 Cross section of respiratory surface (the skin covering the body) Body surface Respiratory surface (gill) CO2 CO2 O2 (a) Skin Capillaries Capillaries O2 (b) Gills The Structure and Function of Respiratory Surfaces • In most land-dwelling animals, the respiratory surfaces are – folded into the body and – open to the air only through narrow tubes. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. The Structure and Function of Respiratory Surfaces • Insects breathe using a tracheal system, an extensive network of internal tubes called tracheae that – branch throughout the body and – extend to nearly every cell. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.16 Body surface Body surface Respiratory surface (tracheae) O2 CO2 (a) Tracheae Body cells (no capillaries) Respiratory surface (within lung) CO2 O2 CO2 (b) Lungs O2 Capillary The Structure and Function of Respiratory Surfaces • Lungs – are located in only one part of the body and – are the most common respiratory surface of snails, some spiders, and terrestrial vertebrates. • The circulatory system transports gases between the respiratory surface and the rest of the body. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.17 RESPIRATORY ORGANS Skin (entire body surface) Gills (extensions of the body surface) Tracheae (branching internal tubes) Lungs (localized internal organs) Gills Tracheae (internal tubes) Moist skin of a leech Gills of a sea slug Tracheae of a silk moth caterpillar Model of a pair of human lungs THE HUMAN RESPIRATORY SYSTEM • The human respiratory system has three phases of gas exchange: 1. breathing, the ventilation of the lungs by alternate inhalation and exhalation, 2. transport of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body via the circulatory system, and 3. diffusion of oxygen from the blood and release of CO2 into the blood by cells of the body. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.18-3 O2 1 Breathing CO2 Lung 2 Transport of gases by the circulatory system Circulatory system 3 Exchange of gases with body cells Mitochondria O2 CO2 Capillary Cell The Structure and Function of the Human Respiratory System • Air moves sequentially from the mouth and nose to – the pharynx, where digestive and respiratory systems meet, – the larynx (voice box) and trachea (windpipe), – the bronchi (one bronchus to each lung), – the bronchioles, the smallest branches of the tubes within the lungs, and – the alveoli, the air sacs where gas exchange primarily occurs. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.

Taking a Breath • Breathing is the alternating process of – inhalation and – exhalation. • During inhalation, the chest is expanded by the – upward movement of the ribs and – downward movement of the diaphragm. • Air moves into the lungs by negative pressure breathing, as the air pressure in the lungs is lowered by the expansion of the chest. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.20 Rib cage expands as rib muscles contract Air inhaled Rib cage gets smaller as rib muscles relax Air exhaled Lung Diaphragm contracts (moves down) Inhalation (Air pressure is higher in atmosphere than in lungs.) Diaphragm relaxes (moves up) Exhalation (Air pressure is lower in atmosphere than in lungs.) Taking a Breath • Breathing can be controlled – consciously, as you deliberately take a breath, or – unconsciously. • Breathing control centers in the brain stem – automatically control breathing most of the time and – regulate breathing rate in response to CO2 levels in the blood. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.21-3 Brain 1 Breathing control centers CO2 levels in the blood rise as a result of exercise. 2 Breathing control centers in the brain monitor the rising CO2 levels in the blood. 3 Rib muscles Diaphragm Nerve signals trigger contraction of muscles to increase breathing rate and depth. The Role of Hemoglobin in Gas Transport • The human respiratory system – takes in O2, – expels CO2, but – relies on the circulatory system to shuttle these gases between the lungs and the body’s cells. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.22 O2 in inhaled air CO2 in exhaled air Air spaces Alveolus CO2 O2 Capillaries of lung O2-rich, CO2-poor blood CO2-rich, O2-poor blood Heart Tissue capillaries CO2 Interstitial fluid O2 Tissue cells throughout body The Role of Hemoglobin in Gas Transport • However, there is one problem with this simple gas delivery system. – Problem: Oxygen does not readily dissolve in blood plasma. – Solution: Oxygen is carried in hemoglobin molecules within red blood cells. • A shortage of iron – causes a decrease in the rate of hemoglobin synthesis and – can lead to anemia. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. Figure 23.23 Heme group Iron atom O2 loaded in lungs O2 unloaded in tissues Polypeptide chain O2 O2 How Smoking Affects the Lungs • Breathing exposes your respiratory tissues to potentially damaging chemicals, including one of the worst pollutants, tobacco smoke. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc. How Smoking Affects the Lungs • Smoking – kills half of all people who smoke, about 440,000 Americans every year, – causes 90% of all lung cancer (one of the deadliest forms of cancer), and • Tobacco smoke – damages the cells that line the bronchi and trachea and – interferes with the normal cleansing mechanism of the respiratory system, allowing more toxin-laden smoke particles to reach and damage the lungs’ delicate alveoli. © 2013 Pearson Education, Inc.
