4. Respiration in animals
•Whether they live in water or on land, all animals must
respire.
–To respire means to take in oxygen and give off carbon
dioxide.
•Some animals rely of simple diffusion through their
skin to respire.
•While others…
•Have developed large complex organ systems for
respiration.

5. Invertebrate respiration
•Invertebrate respiratory organs have
–large surface areas
–contact with air or water
–If require diffusion they must be moist.

8. Vertebrate respiratory systems
•Chordates have one of two basic structures
for respiration:
–Gills –for aquatic chordates
•Example: tunicates, fish and amphibians
–Lungs -for terrestrial chordates
•Examples: adult amphibians, reptiles, birds, and
mammals

9. Aquatic Gills
•Water flows
through the mouth
then over the gills
where oxygen is
removed
•Carbon dioxide and
water are then
pumped out
through the
operculum

10. Vertebrate lungs
•As you move from amphibians to mammals the
surface area of the lungs increases
–Insures a greater amount of gas exchange (or a two way
flow of air).
•Birds, by contrast have lungs and air sacs which
have only a one-way flow of air.
–This allows for them to have constant contact with fresh
air.
–This adaptation enables them to fly at high altitudes
where there is less oxygen.

12. Gas exchange by Diffusion
•Some animals simply allow gases to diffuse
through their skins.

13. Fick’s Law of Diffusion
•Gas exchange involves the diffusion of gases across a
membrane
•Rate of diffusion (R) is governed by Fick’s Law:
•R = DA p
d
D= diffusion constant (size of molecule, membrane permeability, etc)
A= area over which diffusion occurs
p= pressure difference between sides of the membrane
d = distance across which diffusion must occur

14. Fick’s Law of Diffusion
R = DA p
d
To maximize diffusion, R can be increased by:
Increasing A (area over which diffusion occurs)
Increasing p(pressure difference between sides of
the membrane)
Decreasingd (distance across which diffusion must occur)
Evolutionary changes have occurred to maximize R

15. Figure 42.18 The role of gas exchange in bioenergetics

16. GAS EXCHANGE in “Animals”
•The part of the organism across which gases
are exchanged with the environment is the
respiratory surface
•Must be moist
–plasma membranes must be surrounded
by water to be stable
•Must be sufficiently large
–maximize A in Fick’s Law

26. Comparative Respiratory
Systems
•Cell Membranes
–in unicellular organisms
–some simpler animals (sponges, cnidarians,
flatworms)

27. Comparative Respiratory Systems

system(blood)

28. –Skin must be moist
–organisms with flat or
wormlike bodies so skin in
sufficient surface area
–or in frogs and some turtles
to supplement respiration
using lungs
•Skin (cutaneous respiration)

29. •Specialized region of body is folded and branched to
provide large surface area
•This maximizes A in Fick’s Law
•Also decrease d by bringing the respiratory medium
close to the internal fluid
•Three such systems:
–Gills(Aquatic organisms)
–Trachea(insects)
–Lungs(terrestrial vertebrates)

31. Diversity in the structure of gills, external body surfaces in gas exchange

32. Gills
•most aquatic organisms
•outfoldings of the body surface specialized
for gas exchange
•Water is the respiratory medium

33. Water as Respiratory Medium
•Respiratory surface always moist
•Oxygen content of water is much less than
that of air
•denser medium so harder to ventilate

34. Ventilation
•Any method that increases the flow of the
respiratory medium across the respiratory
surface
•This maximizes p in Fick’s Law
–By constantly have new air or new water with
more oxygen

35. Ventilation
•requires a lot of energy to ventilate gills b/c
water is denser than air
•pumping operculum, ram ventilation

39. Air as respiratory medium
•Higher oxygen concentration
•ventilation is easier b/c air is less dense
•respiratory surface loses water to air by
evaporation

40. Air as respiratory medium
•Solution…
–fold respiratory surface inside the body

41. Trachea
•Air tubes that branch throughout the body
•finest tubes (tracheoles) extend to nearly
every cell in the body
•gas diffuses across moist epithelium that
lines the terminal ends

42. Figure 42.22 Tracheal systems

43. Trachea
•Found in insects
•Open Circulatory system of insects is NOT
involved in transporting gases
•Ventilation
–diffusion
–body movements

44. Lungs
•Localized in one area of body
–circulatory system must transport gases

Movement of Oxygen and Carbon Dioxide In

53. In the alveolus
•The respiratory
surface is made
up of the alveoli
and capillary
walls.
•The walls of the
capillaries and the
alveoli may share
the same
membrane.

54. Gas exchange
•Air entering the lungs
contains more oxygen
and less carbon
dioxide than the blood
that flows in the
pulmonary capillaries.

55. Oxygen transport
•Hemoglobin
binds to oxygen
that diffuses into
the blood
stream.

56. Carbon dioxide transport
•Carbon dioxide
can dissolve in
plasma, and about
70% forms
bicarbonate ions.
•Some carbon
dioxide can bind to
hemoglobin for
transport.

57. Lungs
•Ventilation
–air sacs act as bellows in birds
•air flows in one direction during both inhalation &
exhalation
