Lesson Overview
  • 27.2 Respiration

2
THINK ABOUT IT
  • Humans can drown because our lungs cant extract
    the oxygen we need from water. Most fishes have
    the opposite problem out of water, their gills
    dont work.
  • How are these different respiratory systems
    adapted to their different functions?

3
Gas Diffusion and Membranes
  • Animals have evolved respiratory structures
    that help movement of these gases by passive
    diffusion.
  • Substances diffuse from an area of higher
    concentration to an area of lower concentration.
  • Gases diffuse most efficiently across a thin,
    moist membrane that is permeable to those gases.
  • The larger the surface area of that membrane,
    the more diffusion can take place.

4
Requirements for Respiration
  • Respiratory structures provide a large surface
    area of moist, selectively permeable membrane.
  • Respiratory structures maintain a difference in
    concentrations of oxygen carbon dioxide
    promoting diffusion.
  • Because respiratory surfaces are moist, an
    animals breath condenses into fog when the air
    outside is very dry.

5
Gas Exchange
  • What characteristics do the respiratory
    structures of all animals share?

6
Gas Exchange
  • What characteristics do the respiratory
    structures of all animals share?
  • Respiratory structures provide a large surface
    area of moist, selectively permeable membrane.
  • Respiratory structures maintain a difference in
    the relative concentrations of oxygen and carbon
    dioxide on either side of the respiratory
    membrane, promoting diffusion.

7
Respiratory Surfaces of Aquatic Animals
  • Many aquatic invertebrates most aquatic
    chordates exchange gases through gills.
  • Gills are feathery structures that expose a
    large surface area of thin, selectively permeable
    membrane to water.
  • Gill membranes is a network of tiny,
    thin-walled blood vessels called capillaries.

8
Respiratory Surfaces of Aquatic Animals
  • Many animals actively pump water over their
    gills as blood flows through inside.
  • As water passes over the gills, gas exchange is
    completed within the gill capillaries.

9
Respiratory Surfaces of Aquatic Animals
  • Aquatic reptiles aquatic mammals, such as
    whales, breathe with lungs and must hold their
    breath underwater.
  • Lungs are organs that exchange oxygen and carbon
    dioxide between blood and air.

10
Respiratory Surfaces of Aquatic Animals
  • Some aquatic invertebrates, such as cnidarians
    flatworms have thin-walled bodies rely on air
    diffusion through their outer body covering.
    (skin breathers)
  • A few aquatic chordates, including lancelets,
    some amphibians, and even some sea snakes, rely
    on skin to breath ex.) lungless frog

11
Respiratory Surfaces of Aquatic Animals
  • How do aquatic animals breathe?

12
Respiratory Surfaces of Aquatic Animals
  • How do aquatic animals breathe?
  • Many aquatic invertebrates and most aquatic
    chordates other than reptiles and mammals
    exchange gases through gills.
  • Aquatic reptiles and aquatic mammals, such as
    whales, breathe with lungs and must hold their
    breath underwater.

13
Respiratory Surfaces in Land Invertebrates
  • Terrestrial invertebrates have a wide variety of
    respiratory structures.
  • Some land invertebrates, such as earthwormsskin
    breather/ land snailsmantle cavity, which is
    lined with moist tissue and blood vessels.

14
Respiratory Surfaces in Land Invertebrates
  • Spiders respire using organs called book lungs,
    which are made of parallel, sheetlike layers of
    thin tissues containing blood vessels.

15
Respiratory Surfaces in Land Invertebrates
  • Most insects respire using a system of tracheal
    tubes that extends throughout the body.
  • Air enters and leaves the system through
    openings in the body surface called spiracles.

16
Lung Structure in Vertebrates
  • Inhaling O2 air into the lungs.
  • Inside the lungs, O2 diffuses into the blood
    through lung capillaries.
  • Co2 diffuses out of capillaries into the lungs.
  • Oxygen-poor air is then exhaled.

17
Amphibian, Reptilian, and Mammalian Lungs
  • The internal surface area of lungs increases
    from amphibians to reptiles to mammals.

18
Amphibian, Reptilian, and Mammalian Lungs
  • A typical amphibian lung is little more than a
    sac with ridges.

19
Amphibian, Reptilian, and Mammalian Lungs
  • Reptilian lungs are divided into chambers that
    increase the surface area for gas exchange.

20
Amphibian, Reptilian, and Mammalian Lungs
  • Mammalian lungs branch extensively and are
    filled with bubblelike structures called alveoli.

21
Amphibian, Reptilian, and Mammalian Lungs
  • Alveoli provide an enormous surface area for gas
    exchange, and enable mammals to take in the large
    amounts of oxygen required by their high
    metabolic rates.

22
Bird Lungs
  • In birds, the lungs are structured so that air
    flows mostly in only one direction, so no stale
    air gets trapped in the system.
  • Gas exchange surfaces are continuously in
    contact with fresh air.
  • This highly efficient gas exchange helps birds
    obtain the oxygen they need to power their flight
    muscles at high altitudes for long periods of
    time.

Respiratory Surfaces of Terrestrial Animals
  • What respiratory structures enable land animals
    to breathe?

24
Respiratory Surfaces of Terrestrial Animals
  • What respiratory structures enable land animals
    to breathe?
  • Respiratory structures in terrestrial
    invertebrates include skin, mantle cavities, book
    lungs, and tracheal tubes.
  • What respiratory structures enable land animals
    to breathe?
  • But all terrestrial vertebratesreptiles, birds,
    mammals, and the land stages of most
    amphibiansbreathe with lungs.
