Respiration and Circulation
Chapters 22 and 23
Introduction: Surviving in Thin Air
– The process of gas exchange is called
respiration, the interchange of
– O2 and the waste product CO2
– Between an organism and its
environment

22.1 Gas Exchange
• Three phases
1. Breathing
2. Transport of oxygen and carbon dioxide in
blood
3. Body tissues take up oxygen and release
carbon dioxide
• Cellular respiration requires a continuous
supply of oxygen and the disposal of carbon
dioxide

• Cold water holds more oxygen than warm
water
• Fresh water holds more oxygen than salt
water
• Turbulent water holds more oxygen than
still water

22.4
• Compared to water, using air to
breathe has two big advantages
– contains higher concentrations
of O2
– lighter and easier to move

22.8 Pressure and Ventilation
• Breathing is the alternate inhalation and
exhalation of air (ventilation)
• Inhalation occurs when
1. The rib cage expands
2. The diaphragm moves downward
3. The pressure around the lungs decreases
4. And air is drawn into the respiratory tract

22.8
• Exhalation occurs when
1. The rib cage contracts
2. The diaphragm moves upward
3. The pressure around the lungs increases
4. And air is forced out of the respiratory tract

22.9
• Breathing is usually under automatic control
• Breathing control centers in the brain sense
and respond to CO2 levels in the blood
• A drop in blood pH increases the rate and
depth of breathing

• Most animals transport O2 bound to proteins
called respiratory pigments
– Copper-containing pigment is used by
– Molluscs
– Arthropods
– Iron-containing hemoglobin
– Is used by almost all vertebrates and many
invertebrates
– Transports oxygen, buffers blood, and transports CO2

– A human fetus
– exchanges gases with maternal blood in the placenta
– In the placenta, capillaries of maternal blood and fetal
blood run next to each other
– The fetus and mother do not share the same blood

The Path
1. Oxygen in lungs (alveoli) move into capillaries
2. CO2 moves from capillaries into lungs
3. O2 is bound to hemoglobin (red blood cells)
and is transported throughout the body
4. O2 moves out of capillaries into fluid around
cells and into cells
5. CO2 moves out of cells into fluid and into
capillaries
6. CO2 is coverted to bicarbonate and carried to
lungsconverted back to CO2

The Path
1. Leaves left ventricle to aorta
2. Moves from aorta to arteries to arterioles to
capillaries
3. Exchanges gases and nutrients with cells
4. Moves from capillaries to venules to veins
5. Moves to right atriumto right ventricle
6. Moves to lungs for gas exchange
7. Moves to left atriumto left ventricle

23.8 Blood pressure
– Highest in arteries
– Lowest in veins
measured as
– Systolic pressure—caused by
ventricular contraction
– Diastolic pressure—low pressure
between contractions
