Chapter 20 Unifying Concepts of Animal Structure and Function

▪ How can geckos climb walls and stick to the ceiling?– The surfaces of gecko toes are covered by millions of

microscopic hairs.– Each hair has a slight molecular attraction that helps it

stick to the surface.– This adhesive relationship is an example of the

correlation between structure and function.

STRUCTURE AND FUNCTION IN ANIMAL TISSUES


20.1 Structure fits function at all levels of organization in the animal body

▪ Anatomy is the study of structure.▪ Physiology is the study of function.▪ Animals consist of a hierarchy of levels or

organization.– Tissues are an integrated group of similar cells that

perform a common function.– Organs perform a specific task and consist of two or

more tissues. – Organ systems consist of multiple organs that together

perform a vital body function.

20.2 EVOLUTION CONNECTION: An animal’s form reflects natural selection

▪ The body plan or design of an organism– reflects the relationship between form and function,

– results from natural selection, and

– does not imply a process of conscious invention.

▪ Streamlined and tapered bodies– increase swimming speeds and

– have similarly evolved in fish, sharks, and aquatic birds and mammals, representing convergent evolution.

20.3 Tissues are groups of cells with a common structure and function

▪ Tissues

– are an integrated group of similar cells that perform a common function and

– combine to form organs.

▪ Animals have four main categories of tissues:1. epithelial tissue,

2. connective tissue,

3. muscle tissue, and

4. nervous tissue.


20.4 Epithelial tissue covers the body and lines its organs and cavities

▪ Epithelial tissues, or epithelia, are sheets of closely packed cells that– cover body surfaces and

– line internal organs and cavities.

▪ Epithelial cells come in three shapes:1. squamous—like a fried egg,

2. cuboidal—as tall as they are wide, and

3. columnar—taller than they are wide.


20.4 Epithelial tissue covers the body and lines its organs and cavities

▪ Epithelial tissues are named according to the– number of cell layers they have and

– shape of the cells on their apical surface.

20.5 Connective tissue binds and supports other tissues

▪ Connective tissue can be grouped into six major types.1. Loose connective tissue

– is the most widespread,

– consists of ropelike collagen and elastic fibers that are strong and resilient, and

– helps to join skin to underlying tissues.

2. Fibrous connective tissue – has densely packed collagen fibers and

– forms tendons that attach muscle to bone.


20.5 Connective tissue binds and supports other tissues

3. Adipose tissue stores fat in large, closely packed cells held in a matrix of fibers.

4. Cartilage– is a strong and flexible skeletal material and

– commonly surrounds the ends of bones.

5. Bone– has a matrix of collagen fibers

– embedded in a hard mineral substance containing calcium, magnesium, and phosphate.

6. Blood transports substances throughout the body.

20.6 Muscle tissue functions in movement

▪ Muscle tissue is the most abundant tissue in most animals.

▪ There are three types of vertebrate muscle tissue:1. Skeletal muscle causes voluntary movements.

2. Cardiac muscle pumps blood.

3. Smooth muscle moves walls of internal organs, such as the intestines.

20.7 Nervous tissue forms a communication network

▪ Nervous tissue– senses stimuli and– rapidly transmits information.

▪ Neurons carry signals by conducting electrical impulses.▪ Other cells in nervous tissue

– insulate axons,– nourish neurons, and– regulate the fluid around neurons.

ORGANS AND ORGAN SYSTEMS


20.8 Organs are made up of tissues

▪ Each tissue performs specific functions.

▪ The heart has– extensive muscle that generates contractions,

– epithelial tissues that line the heart chambers,

– connective tissues that make the heart elastic, and

– neurons that regulate contractions.


20.8 Organs are made up of tissues

▪ The small intestine– is lined by a columnar epithelium,

– includes connective tissues that contain blood vessels, and

– has two layers of smooth muscle that help propel food.

▪ The inner surface of the small intestine has many fingerlike projections that increase the surface area for absorption.

▪ Bioengineering is seeking ways to repair or replace damaged tissues and organs.

▪ New tissues and organs are being grown using a patient’s own cells.

▪ These techniques– remove the risk of tissue rejection and

– may someday reduce the shortage of organs available for transplants.

20.9 CONNECTION: Bioengineers are learning to produce tissues and organs for transplants

20.10 Organ systems work together to perform life’s functions

▪ Each organ system– typically consists of many organs,

– has one or more functions, and

– works with other organ systems to create a functional organism.

20.11 CONNECTION: New imaging technology reveals the inner body

▪ New technologies– are used in medical diagnosis and research and– allow physicians to examine organ systems without

surgery.

▪ X-rays help create images of hard structures such as bones and teeth.▪ Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)

– takes advantage of the behavior of the hydrogen atoms in water molecules and

– provides three-dimensional images of very small structures.

Tibia (shin bone)

▪ A newer X-ray technology called computed tomography (CT)– produces high-resolution images of cross sections of the

body and

– can detect small differences between normal and abnormal tissues in many organs.

▪ Positron-emission tomography (PET) helps identify metabolic processes at specific body locations.

▪ CT and PET images can be combined for an even more informative image.

20.12 The integumentary system protects the body

▪ The skin consists of two layers:1. The epidermis

– is a stratified squamous epithelium and

– forms the surface of the skin.

2. The dermis– forms a deeper skin layer and

– is composed of dense connective tissue with many resilient elastic fibers and strong collagen fibers.

– The dermis contains hair follicles, oil and sweat glands, muscle cells, nerves, sensory receptors, and blood vessels.

▪ Skin has many functions.– The epidermis

– resists physical damage,

– decreases water loss, and

– prevents penetration by microbes.

– The dermis– collects sensory information,

– synthesizes vitamin D, and

– helps regulate body temperature.



▪ Exposure of the skin to ultraviolet light– causes skin cells to release melanin, which contributes

to a visible tan, and

– damages DNA of skin cells and can lead to– premature aging of the skin,

– cataracts, and

– skin cancers.



▪ Hair– is an important component of the integumentary system

of mammals,– helps to insulate their bodies, and– consists of a shaft of keratin-filled dead cells.

▪ Oil glands release oils that– are associated with hair follicles,– lubricate hair,– condition surrounding skin, and– inhibit the growth of bacteria.



EXTERNAL EXCHANGE AND INTERNAL REGULATION


20.13 Structural adaptations enhance exchange with the environment

▪ Every organism is an open system that must exchange matter and energy with its surroundings.

▪ Cells in small and flat animals can exchange materials directly with the environment.



▪ However, as organisms increase in size, the surface area

– is too small for the corresponding volume and

– too far away from the deepest cells of the body.

– In these organisms, evolutionary adaptations

– consist of extensively branched or folded surfaces, which increase the area of these surfaces and

– provide for sufficient environmental exchange.



▪ The respiratory system exchanges gases between the external environment and blood.▪ The digestive system acquires food and eliminates

wastes.▪ The excretory system eliminates metabolic waste.▪ The circulatory system

– distributes gases, nutrients, and wastes throughout the body and

– exchanges materials between blood and body cells through the interstitial fluid that bathes body cells.

▪ Homeostasis is the active maintenance of a steady state within the body.– External environmental conditions may fluctuate wildly.

– Homeostatic mechanisms regulate internal conditions.

▪ Control systems– detect change and– direct responses.

▪ Negative-feedback mechanisms– keep internal variables steady and– permit only small fluctuations around set points.
