Transport systems Respiration
We’ll be discussing what respiration is 1) 2) 3) 4) Pathway of blood Cardiac cycle Principles governing blood circulation Cardiovascular disease
What is respiration? 1. The release of energy 2. when food substances are broken down 3. 4. 5. by oxidation into simpler substances such as carbon dioxide and water. It is a chemical process.
There are two types of respiration: Aerobic Anaerobic
Aerobic respiration 1. The release of a relatively large amount of energy 2. by the breakdown of food substances 3. in the presence of oxygen
Aerobic Respiration occurs in the cell in the ….
Mitochondria
Aerobic Respiration Breakdown of food substances Occurs in the mitochondria Similar to combustion of fuel
Inspiration Air breathed in in
Inspiration Occurs when air is taken into the lungs
Expiration Air breathed out
Expiration Occurs when air passes out of the lungs
Expired air Mirror Water droplets
Can be written in a word equation: Glucose + Oxygen Carbon dioxide + Water + Relatively lots of energy
Components of inspired and expired air
Review n Why are the amounts of oxygen, carbon dioxide and water vapour different in inspired and expired air? Answer: Respiration uses oxygen and produces carbon dioxide and water. Thus, the expired air contains less oxygen and more carbon dioxide and water
BREATHING AND RESPIRATION n Are breathing and respiration the same? n Respiration is a chemical process. n In aerobic respiration, we need oxygen. n How do we get the oxygen? By BREATHING n Inhaling (breathing in) takes in oxygen n Exhaling (breathing out) takes out carbon dioxide and water
Respiration and breathing
Functions of the circulatory system Transports materials Nutrients from digested food Respiratory gases: CO 2 and O 2 Waste materials: toxins and nitrogenous wastes Antibodies Hormones Enzymes Blood p. H Heat transport
The Challenge of Getting Oxygen As animals increase in size, more oxygen is required to meet their energy needs. To deliver greater amounts of oxygen to cells, the respiratory membranes of the more complex animals must have an increased surface area.
Some animals, such as earthworms, use their skin as a respiratory membrane The skin must be kept moist at all times to allow the proper diffusion of gases.
Fish, some salamanders, clams, starfish, and crayfish exchange gases through their gills. • Gills are, essentially, extensions of the outer surface of the body.
The extensive folding and branching of the gills provide increased surface area for the diffusion of gases, improving the efficiency of the respiratory organ. Fish also use a countercurrent flow—the water moves over the gills in one direction while the blood, contained within the capillaries inside the gill, moves in the opposite direction. Countercurrent flow increases the efficiency of oxygen intake and ensures that the oxygen diffuses into the blood over the entire length of the blood vessel inside of the gill.
Although gills are ideal for aquatic environments, they are poorly adapted for land. Why? Exposing the large surface area of the respiratory membrane to air causes too much evaporation. If the gills become dry, the membrane becomes impermeable to the diffusion of gases.
What does the body need for releasing energy? The body’s energy-releasing process depends on the digestive system and the breathing system. glucose is the fuel supplied ? by the digestive system oxygen ? is supplied by the breathing system
Questions 1. What is the fuel used by the body’s cells? 2. What gas is needed to release energy from this fuel? 3. Name three organ systems involved.
The body’s energy-releasing process In the body’s cells, the chemical energy stored in glucose is usually released by a chemical reaction with oxygen. This energy-releasing process is called: respiration glucose oxygen energy Why does every living cell need a constant supply of glucose and oxygen?
Waste products of aerobic respiration Aerobic respiration releases energy that is useful. This process is a chemical reaction between glucose and oxygen which also produces waste products. glucose oxygen ? ? energy Breathing in obtains the oxygen needed for aerobic respiration. Breathing out removes the waste products of aerobic respiration.
Waste products – see your breath test What happens when you breathe out onto a cold pane of glass? What happens when you breathe out on a freezing cold day? water vapour In both cases, you can see some of the air that you have breathed out. Why? Water vapour condenses into a liquid and becomes visible. What does this test tell you about aerobic respiration? Another waste product of aerobic respiration must be… …water.

How much energy is needed? When does the body need to release more energy? not very active = low energy requirements very active = high energy requirements During which type of activities is the rate of aerobic respiration higher?
Multiple-choice quiz
Do All Animals & Plants Respire? We can check this by seeing if they produce carbon dioxide. Lime water goes cloudy & bicarbonate indicator goes from red to yellow if carbon dioxide is present.
Smoking: Tobacco smoke contains: Nicotine : addictive Tar : Smokers cough; cancer Carbon monoxide : small babies due to poor growth.

The Process of Voice production relies on: Respiration Phonation Resonance Each of these processes is not independent, and they may change simultaneously.
The upper respiratory tract (respiration, eating, articulation, resonance, and phonation) Nasal cavity Oral cavity Pharynx Larynx The lower respiratory tract (breathing for life and for speech) Trachea Bronchi Lungs (with bronchioles/alveoli)
The Respiratory System
Mammalian respiration
Lung ventilation through breathing Positive pressure breathing in frogs “Gulping in” air Negative pressure breathing in reptiles and mammals Rib muscles and diaphragm change lung volume and pressure
Control centers in the brain regulate breathing

Give one reason why respiration must take place in our bodies. 5. Where in our bodies does respiration take place? 6. What is the difference between respiration and combustion?
Blood flow in mammals R side of heart: pulmonary circuit L side of heart: systemic circuit one way valves: atrioventricular valves semilunar valves
1. right atrium receives O 2 poor blood from superior and inferior venae cavae 2. from right atrium into the right ventricle through the tricuspid valve 3. pumped into the pulmonary artery through the pulmonary semilunar valve to lungs 4. O 2 -rich blood from lungs is returned to the left atrium via the pulmonary veins 5. enters the left ventricle via the mitral or bicuspid valve 6. exits the left ventricle into the aorta via the aortic semilunar valve 7. circulated to body tissues Blood flow in mammals
How are materials transported in multicellular organisms? Open circulatory system Phylum Arthropoda, Phylum Mollusca (with one exception) hemolymph heart(s) sinuses ostia heart(s) diffusion from sinuses to organs often serve a support purpose disadvantage: loss of pressure in sinuses insects: well-developed respiratory systems, O 2 not transported through the blood
Vertebrate adaptations of the cardiovascular system FISH Single-circulation Fish heart 2 -chambered atrium and ventricle African lungfish heart 3 -chambered 2 atria LA: O 2 -rich blood RA: O 2 -poor blood spiral fold partially divided ventricle
Vertebrate adaptations of the cardiovascular system Amphibians Pulmocutaneous and systemic circulation are partly separated Amphibian heart 1 ventricle 2 atria: LA: O 2 -rich blood RA: O 2 -poor blood advantage: oxygen-rich blood reaches the body’s organs faster disadvantage: some mixing of O 2 -rich and poor blood occurs
Vertebrate adaptations of the cardiovascular system Reptiles Reptilian heart 3 -chambers (crocodilians have 4) 2 atria 1 ventricle (2 in crocodiles and alligators) partially divided, decreases mixing
Birds and Mammals 4 chambered heart: 2 atria 2 ventricles full separation of pulmonary and systemic circuits Advantages 1. 2. 3. no mixing of oxygenated and deoxygenated blood gas exchange is maximized pulmonary and systemic circuits operate at different pressures Importance 1. Endothermic high nutrient and O 2 demands in tissues 2. Numerous vessels great deal of resistance, so requires high pressure Vertebrate adaptations of the cardiovascular system
Transport around the human body Glucose and oxygen enter the body in different ways. Glucose enters by the digestive system. Oxygen enters by the Breathing System. Glucose and oxygen are transported around the body by the circulatory system. Blood flowing in blood vessels takes these important substances to where they are needed – the body’s cells.
