Exchange of materialsExchange of materialsbetween organism and environment:between organism and environment:
always occurs across a moist membrane
nutrients, gases, and wastes diffuse across membrane
molecules must be dissolved in water in order to diffuse across
Exchange of materials…Exchange of materials…
In protozoans, the entire surface is used for exchange.
Simple animals like sponges and cnidarians are constructed so that each cell is exposed to the surrounding water. (What pattern of construction permits this?)
What about triploblastic What about triploblastic animals?animals?
some cells are isolated from the surrounding environment
they require specialized organs for exchange with the environment
AND special systems for internal transport through body fluids to the cells
What are the advantages of specialized organs with an internal transport system?
1) reduces distance over which molecules must diffuse to enter & leave a cell AND
2) permits regulation of internal body fluids
Circulation in AnimalsCirculation in AnimalsTransport systems functionally connect
body cells with the organs of exchange.
Diffusion alone is too slow for complex multicellular animals.
The time of diffusion is proportional to the square of the distance the chemical must travel:
if a glucose molecule takes 1 second to diffuse 100µm, it will take 100 seconds to diffuse 1 mm.
The presence of a circulatory system The presence of a circulatory system reduces the distance a substance reduces the distance a substance must diffusemust diffuse……
because it connects the aqueous because it connects the aqueous environment of the cell with environment of the cell with organs specialized for exchange.organs specialized for exchange.
For example,
O2 diffuses from air across thin epithelium in the lung into the blood.
Oxygenated blood is carried via the circulatory system to all parts of the body.
As blood passes through capillaries in the tissues, O2 diffuses from the blood into the cells across the plasma membrane.
CO2 is produced by the cells and moves in the opposite direction.
The circulatory system…The circulatory system…
not only moves gases, but is a critical component in maintaining homeostasis of the body.
Blood passes from cells through organs (liver, kidneys) that regulate the nutrient and waste content of the blood.
Circulation in AnimalsCirculation in Animals
Invertebrates have either a gastrovascular cavity or a circulatory system for internal transport.
GASTROVASCULAR CAVITIESGASTROVASCULAR CAVITIES
In sponges & cnidarians, nutrients have only a short distance to diffuse to the outer cell layer. (Figure 42.1)
In flatworms & other platyhelminthes, no cell is more than a few mm away from the body surface.
Complex multicellular animals require some type of circulatory system.
OPEN CIRCULATORY SYSTEMSOPEN CIRCULATORY SYSTEMS
Hemolymph bathes the internal organs directly while moving through sinuses (Figure 42.2a)
Hemolymph acts as both blood and interstitial fluid
Relaxation of the heart draws hemolymph through the ostia into the vessel.

ArteriesArteries carry blood away from the heart to carry blood away from the heart to organs where they branch into smaller organs where they branch into smaller arteriolesarterioles that give rise to microscopic that give rise to microscopic capillaries.capillaries.
Capillaries rejoin to form Capillaries rejoin to form venulesvenules, which converge , which converge to form to form veinsveins that return blood to the heart. that return blood to the heart.
CapillariesCapillaries Capillaries have thin, porous walls
and are arranged into networks called capillary beds that infiltrate each tissue.
The capillary wall is a single cell thick.
This is the site of chemical exchange between blood & interstitial fluid..
Fish: 2-chambered heartFish: 2-chambered heart
one atrium & one ventricle. (Fig 42.3a)
Blood pumped from the ventricle goes to the gills. O2 diffuses into the gill capillaries and CO2 diffuses out.
Gill capillaries converge into arteries that carry blood to capillary beds in other organs. Blood from the organs travels through veins to the atrium, then into the ventricle.
Fish: 2-chambered heartFish: 2-chambered heart Blood flows through two capillary beds
during each complete circuit: one in the gills and the second in the organ systems (systemic capillaries).
As blood flows through a capillary bed, blood pressure drops substantially (due to the resistance of the numerous small vessels).
Blood flow to the tissues and back to the heart is aided by swimming motions.
2-chambered heart2-chambered heart
1 atrium & 1 ventricle in fish
Amphibians: 3-chambered heartAmphibians: 3-chambered heart two atria and one ventricle (Fig. 42.3b)
Blood flows in a double circulation scheme through:1) 1) pulmocutaneous circuitpulmocutaneous circuit (to lungs and (to lungs and
skin)skin)
2) 2) systemic circuitsystemic circuit (to all other organs) (to all other organs)
Blood flow pattern: ventricle -> lungs & skin-> left atrium -> ventricle -> all other organs -> right atrium
3-chambered 3-chambered heartheart
• 2 atria & 1 ventricle of amphibian
Amphibians: 3-chambered Amphibians: 3-chambered heartheart
There is some mixing of oxygen-rich and oxygen-poor blood in the single ventricle.
A ridge present in the ventricle diverts most of the oxygenated blood to the systemic circuit and most of the deoxygenated blood to the pulmonary circuit.
Reptiles: 3-chambered heartReptiles: 3-chambered heart
most reptiles (except crocodilians) ventricle is partially divided
providing for double circulation: 1) a systemic circuit 2) a pulmonary circuit
partial division of ventricle reduces mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
Birds & mammals: 4 Birds & mammals: 4 chamberschambers
Double circulation: 1) systemic
2) pulmonary complete septum eliminates mixing of
oxygenated and deoxygenated blood separation greatly increases the
efficiency of O2 delivery to the cells
4-chambered 4-chambered heartheart
• 2 atria & 2 ventricles
• complete seperation of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood
• right heart drives pulmonary circulation
• left heart dives systemic circulation
• complete separation of oxygenation & deoxygenated blood
Human heart:Human heart:
located beneath the sternum
cone-shaped about size of fist
surrounded by pericardium (2 layers)
cardiac muscle tissue
atria collect blood returning to heart
ventricles are powerful pumps
Four valves of human Four valves of human heart.heart.
Valves are flaps of connective tissue. Atrioventricular valves –
found between atria & ventricles prevent backflow of blood
Semilunar valves- located where aorta leaves left
ventricle located where pulmonary arteries
leave the right ventricle
A heart murmurA heart murmur
is a defect in one or more of the valves that allows backflow of blood.
Heart’s rhythmic beat:Heart’s rhythmic beat:
Cardiac muscle is myogenic (self-excitable).
contracts without input from the nervous system
tempo is controlled by the sinoatrial node (SA) sometimes called the pacemaker.
SA nodeSA node
located in right atrium near the entrance of the superior vena cava
composed of specialized muscle tissue with characteristics of both muscle and nervous tissue
contraction of SA causes a wave of excitation to spread rapidly from the node causing the two atria to contract in unison
AV nodeAV node
second mass of specialized tissue
receives the wave of excitation from SA
impulse is delayed at the AV node for 0.1 second to ensure that the atria are completely empty before the ventricles contract
impulse is then carried by a mass of specialized fibers, Bundle of His, throughout the ventricle walls
Heart rateHeart rate controlled by SA
influenced by:1) two antagonistic sets of nerves–
one speeds contractions and the other slows contractions
2) hormones influence the SA node – epinephrine increases heart rate
3) other factors: body temperature & exercise influence heart rate
