Slide 7 / 116

The relationship between structure and function is an important

• verarching concept in biology and studying this relationship will

help us to understand animals. Structure (anatomy) and function (physiology) are studied together because function is determined by structure.

Structure and Function

The long bill of the sword-billed hummingbird makes it particularly suited to extracting nectar from flowers with deep hypanthium (nectar chamber).

Slide 8 / 116

The adaptations that different animals have to allow them to perform various functions have all been fashioned by natural selection. Natural selection has "fitted" structure to function by selecting,

• ver many generations, what works

best within a particular population in it's environment.

Slide 16 / 116 Tissues Slide 17 / 116 Epithelial Tissue

Epithelial Tissue consists of many cells tightly packed together with very little extracellular matrix. It covers body surfaces and lines internal organs and body cavities. One side of the tissue is anchored to the underlying tissues by a basement membrane (a dense layer of extracellular matrix consisting of fibrous proteins and polysaccharides.) The other side is the free surface and it faces the outside of an organ or the inside of a tube or passageway.

Source: Davidson College Biology Department

Slide 18 / 116

Epithelial tissues are named according to the number of cell layers they have and to the shape of the cells on the free surface: Simple: A single layer of cells. Stratified: Multiple layers of cells. Squamous: Flat cells Cuboidal: Cube shaped cells Columnar: Taller than they are wide

Epithelial Tissue Slide 19 / 116

The structure of each type of epithelial tissue fits its function. Simple squamous epithelium is very thin and is suitable for exchange of materials via diffusion. It makes up capillaries and alveoli (air sacs in the lungs). Stratified squamous epithelium can be found in areas subject to abrasion, such as the esophagus or our skin.

Slide 26 / 116 Muscle Tissue

Muscle tissue consists of bundles of long cells called muscle fibers. There are many contractile proteins arranged a certain way within the cytoplasm of the muscle cells. Vertebrates have three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, smooth, and cardiac.

Slide 27 / 116

It is attached to bones by tendons and is responsible for voluntary movement. Under the microscope, cells appear striped

• r striated due to the

arrangement of the contractile units; therefore, it is also called striated muscle.

Skeletal Muscle Tissue Slide 28 / 116

Found in hollow organs and blood vessels. It is "smooth" due to the lack of striations. It is an involuntary muscle, meaning you do not have to think about your stomach digesting food.

Smooth Muscle Tissue Slide 29 / 116

intercalated discs nuclei It forms the contractile tissue of the heart. It is striated, but the cells are branched, not straight as in skeletal muscle. It has specialized junctions, known as intercalated discs, between cells that rapidly conduct the signal to contract from cell to cell.

Hydroskeletons

Slide 44 / 116

Many animals, such as insects and arthropods, have a rigid external skeleton called an exoskeleton. In some animals (e.g. arthropods) the exoskeleton must be shed as the animal grows. This is a process called molting and it is replaced by a larger exoskeleton as the animal grows.

Exoskeletons

Slide 45 / 116

Endoskeletons consist of hard or leathery metabolically active support structures surrounding the soft tissues and organs of certain animals. Different types of endoskeletons range from a framework of protein fibers in a sponge up to a complete skeleton made up of bones and cartilage in vertebrates.

Endoskeletons Slide 46 / 116 Human Skeleton

Our skeleton consists of 206 individual bones and is divided into two regions. Axial skeleton: skull, vertebral column, and thorax. Appendicular skeleton: upper and lower limbs and their respective girdles which attach to the axial skeleton

Slide 47 / 116

The muscular system is composed of skeletal, smooth, and cardiac muscle. Functions of the muscular system include · body movement · maintaining posture · circulating blood

Muscular System Slide 48 / 116 Movement of the Human Skeleton

The skeletal system and the muscular system work together as the musculoskeletal system to move the human skeleton. Much of the versatility in movement of our skeleton comes from the various types of articulations (joints) between two or more bones. Bones serve as attachment points for muscles, via their tendons. Bones of moveable joints are held together by ligaments. Muscles and bones interact in movement.

There are three main functions of the nervous system: Sensory input: Recieve signals from sensory receptors. Integration: Interpret the sensory signals and form the appropriate responses. Motor output: Conduct signals from the integration center to effector organs (muscles or glands) to carry out the response.

Nervous System

Slide 56 / 116

Discuss the scenario below in respect to the functions of the nervous system Sensory input? Integration? Motor output?

Nervous System Slide 57 / 116 Nervous System Divisions

Most animals have a nervous system that is divided into two divisions: · Central Nervous System (CNS) - brain and spinal cord which act as the main processing centers · Peripheral Nervous System (PNS) - all other nerves which act as cables that carry information to and away from the CNS. In this depiction of the nervous system, the CNS is colored red and the PNS is colored blue.

Slide 58 / 116

The organization of the nervous system varies throughout the animal kingdom. Some animals, sponges for example, lack a nervous system altogether Hydras have a simple type of nervous system called a nerve net which is a weblike system of neurons extending throughout the body. There is no brain and there are no CNS and PNS divisions. Cephalization refers to the concentration of nerve tissue at the head end of an animal. This is the pattern seen in animals that display bilateral symmetry (having a head end and a tail end)

Nervous System Organization Slide 59 / 116 Endocrine System

The endocrine system is a hormone regulating system. Hormones act as messengers and regulate different body functions. They are produced by a gland in one part of the body, secreted into the blood and carried to another part of the body. Hormones have a wide range of targets. Some, like the sex hormones, affect most tissues of the body whereas others, like glucagon, only act on specific cells.

Endocrine glands and hormones of the digestive system.

Slide 60 / 116

The hypothalamus, which is part of the brain, has a close association with the endocrine

The functions of the lymphatic system are: · return interstitial (tissue) fluid to the circulatory system · fight infection The components of the lymphatic system include lymphatic vessels, lymph nodes, tonsils and adenoids, appendix, spleen, bone marrow, and the thymus gland. The bone marrow and thymus is where white blood cells are made.

Lymphatic/Immune System Slide 66 / 116

Innate immunity functions via

• phagocytosis. In this picture, the

phagocyte (yellow) in engulfing a bacterial cell (orange). After ingesting a pathogen, digestive enzymes will destroy them. Animals have two types of immunity: · Innate immunity - nonspecific immunity against pathogens · Acquired immunity - specific immunity against pathogens; only present in vertebrates

Lymphatic/Immune System Slide 67 / 116

Acquired immunity targets pathogens to which an

• rganism has previously

been exposed. When a pathogen is recognized by the immune system, specific lymphocytes are triggered that can react to and destroy the pathogen. Describe how vaccines and acquired immunity are related?

Lymphatic/Immune System Slide 68 / 116 Respiratory System

The function of the respiratory system is to exchange oxygen and carbon dioxide in the body. The part of an animal where gases are exchanged with the environment is called the respiratory surface. Respiratory surfaces must be moist in order to function properly because gases are dissolved in water before diffusing across these surfaces. Gas exchange in this newt occur in the feathery gills behind the head.

Slide 69 / 116

Other animals have body parts that are adapted for respiration because their skin surfaces are not extensive enough to provide gas exchange for the entire body. Examples

• f these include gills in fish, and lungs in

mammals. Some animals, such as earthworms, use their entire outer skin as a respiratory

• rgan. Gases are exchanged via

diffusion.

Respiratory System

Slide 70 / 116

Respiratory System

In humans the flow of oxygen is: mouth/nasal cavity, larynx, trachea, bronchial tubes, alveoli. Gas exchange occurs across the mucus membranes of the aveoli into the capillaries that surround them.

Source: National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute

CO2 exits the body by moving from the capillaries into the aveoli and out through the mouth.

Slide 71 / 116 Urinary System

The urinary system excretes urine and regulates the amount of water and ions in body fluids. In order to survive in any environment, an animal needs to balance its need for water with the disposal of waste. In humans, the main organs of the urinary system are the kidneys.

Slide 72 / 116

Each day, our kidneys filter out about 180 L of fluid as blood filters through them. This is referred to as filtrate and consists of water, urea and many other solutes. Of this,

• nly about 1.5L of concentrated

waste is excreted from the body. What do you think would happen if we excreted ALL of this filtrate every day?

Urinary System Slide 73 / 116

Filtration: Water and mostly any other molecule small enough to pass through the capillary wall enters the kidney. Reabsorption: Water and valuable solutes are returned to the blood from the filtrate. Secretion: Substances in the blood are transported into the filtrate. This eliminates certain drugs and other toxins. Excretion: The product of the first three processes is urine. This passes from the kidneys into the ureters which lead to the urinary

• bladder. From the bladder, the urine passes to the outside via the

urethra.

Slide 80 / 116 Digestive System

The functions of the digestive system are: · Ingestion: the act of eating · Digestion: the process of breaking food down into molecules small enough to absorb · Absorption: the uptake of nutrients by body cells · Elimination: the passage of undigested material out of the digestive compartment

Slide 81 / 116

Most other animals have a digestive tube with two openings, a mouth and an anus. The tube is called the alimentary canal.

Simple vs. Complex Digestive Systems

Simple animals, such as cnidarians and flatworms, have a digestive compartment called the gastrovascular cavity with a single opening called the mouth.

Slide 82 / 116

In the alimentary canal, food moves in one direction and specialized regions of the tube carry out digestion and absorption in sequence. Food is pushed along the canal by peristalsis, rhythmic contractions of smooth muscles in the wall of the canal.

Alimentary Canal

Mouth Pharynx Esophagus Intestine Anus

The alimentary canal is divided into the following regions: · Mouth: Where food enters · Pharynx: The throat region · Esophagus: Channels food to a compartment (such as the stomach) · Intestine: Main site of chemical digestion and nutrient absorption · Anus: Undigested material is expelled through this region

Slide 83 / 116

In addition to the alimentary canal, the digestive system contains accessory glands that secrete digestive juices through ducts.

Accessory Glands

Accessory glands include the: · salivary glands - secretes amylase, an enzyme that breaks down starch · pancreas - secretes digestive enzymes into the small intestine to break down food · liver - produces bile that aids in the digestion

• f fats

· gallbladder - stores bile

Slide 84 / 116

The structure of the digestive system varies based on the functions necessary in various animals. Dentition, an animal’s assortment of teeth, varies based on diet. Herbivores generally have longer alimentary canals than carnivores, reflecting the longer time needed to digest vegetation. Many herbivores have fermentation chambers, where symbiotic microorganisms digest cellulose.

Slide 91 / 116 Circulatory System

Every organism must exchange materials with its environment. This exchange ultimately occurs at the cellular level. Small, simple animals exchange materials directly with the environment via diffusion. For large, more complex animals, diffusion is not a sufficient method of exchange. These animals have a circulatory system. These flatworms exchange materials via diffusion.

Slide 92 / 116 Circulatory System

Both open and closed circulatory systems have three components: 1. Circulatory fluid (blood or hemolymph) 2. Tubes (blood vessels) 3. Muscular pump (heart) There are two types of circulatory systems: open or closed.

Blood consists of several kinds of cells and cell products suspended in a liquid matrix called plasma: · Erythrocytes (red blood cells): transport oxygen · Leukocytes (white blood cells): defense/immunity · Platelets: involved in blood clotting erythrocyte leukocyte platelet

Slide 94 / 116 Open Circulatory System

This system is called "open" because blood is pumped through open-ended vessels and flows out among cells. There is no distinction between blood and interstitial fluid, and this general body fluid is more correctly called hemolymph.

Slide 95 / 116 Closed Circulatory System

In a closed circulatory system, blood is confined to vessels and is distinct from the interstitial fluid. Closed systems are more efficient at transporting circulatory fluids to tissues and cells. As a result, this type of system is more commonly referred to in vertebrates as the cardiovascular system.

Closed Circulatory System

Slide 96 / 116

There are three types of blood vessels in a closed circulatory system: · Arteries: Carry blood away from the heart to the body · Veins: Return blood towards the heart from the body · Capillaries: Microscopic blood vessels that carry blood between arteries and veins NOTE: Arteries and veins are distinguished by the direction in which they carry blood.

Blood Vessels

Red blood cells pass single file through a capillary. This ensures that each red blood cell comes in close contact with the surrounding tissue to maximize the exchange of materials.

Slide 97 / 116 Circulatory System

In addition to transporting O2 and nutrients, the circulatory system conveys metabolic waste products to the appropriate

• rgans for disposal:

CO2 is taken to the lungs and is expelled when you exhale. Nitrogenous waste products are taken to the kidneys where they are expelled in the urine. The circulatory system also functions in immunity via the leukocytes.

Slide 98 / 116

Vertebrate cardiovascular systems range from 2-4 chambers. Fish: two main chambers: one ventricle and one atrium. Amphibians: three-chambered heart: two atria and one ventricle. Turtles, snakes, and lizards : a three-chambered heart in which the ventricle is partially divided. Crocodilians: a three-chambered heart with a completely divided ventricle Mammals and birds: a four chambered heart (two atria and two ventricles). The left side of the heart pumps and receives only

• xygen-rich blood, while the right side receives and pumps only
• xygen- poor blood.

Homeostasis

Return to Table of Contents

Slide 106 / 116 Homeostasis

Many animals maintain relatively constant conditions in their internal environment through a process known as homeostasis. Even as external conditions fluctuate widely, homeostatic mechanisms regulate internal conditions to keep systems functioning at their optimum. There are two types of feedback systems that regulate homeostasis: · Negative feedback · Positive feedback

Slide 107 / 116

Most of the control mechanisms of homeostasis are based on negative feedback. Negative feedback is when a change in a variable triggers mechanisms that reverse that change.

Negative Feedback System

The thermostat in your house works this way. When it registers that it has gotten too cold, the thermostat sends a signal to the furnace to turn

• n and raise the temperature in the
• house. The change (cold

temperature) triggers mechanisms to reverse it (make it warm).

Slide 108 / 116

Negative Feedback System

On a sunny day, your internal temperature rises above the set point (normal range). This is detected by sensors in the skin. Sensors send this information to the brain, the control center, where it is processed into a response. Blood vessels dilate and your body begins to sweat. This allows your temperature to return to the set

• point. This is negative feedback because the response reverses the

stimulus.

Slide 109 / 116

Histamines released. Blood vessels dilate. Redness and swelling.

Positive Feedback System

A positive feedback system is one in which homeostasis is regulated by magnifying a change instead of reversing it. The inflammatory response is an example of positive feedback. When injury/infection occurs, histamines are released at the site of

• damage. Histamines cause local blood vessels to dilate. Blood flow

is increased, which causes redness and swelling. The redness and swelling, in turn, cause more histamines to be released. The cycle restarts and is continually amplified until any pathogens are destroyed and homeostasis is restored.

Slide 110 / 116 Thermoregulation

Animals must regulate how they exchange heat with their environment Different types of animals have different ways of regulating body heat Animals fit into one of two categories: · ectotherms · endotherms

Slide 111 / 116 Ectotherms

Ectotherms are "cold blooded" animals. Most of their heat energy escapes into the environment so their body temperature is close to that of their surroundings. Activity

• f these animals is drastically affected by temperature changes

in their environment. When outside temperatures rise, they become more active. When outside temperatures drop, they become more sluggish in their activity.

Slide 112 / 116

Endotherms are the "warm blooded" animals, such as mammals and birds. These animals have evolved homeostatic mechanisms that allow them to use the heat they generate.

Endotherms

They have adaptations such as hair, fur, feathers, and fat that help prevent heat loss. They maintain constant body temperatures that are higher than their environment. What are some pros and cons for being endothermic and ectothermic?
