Circulation and Gas Exchange
Gastrovascular cavities and body walls only two layers thick allow for easy distribution of nutrients and gas exchange

• In insects, other arthropods, and most mollusks, blood bathes organs directly in an open circulatory system.
• There is no distinction between blood and interstitial fluid, collectively called hemolymph.
• One or more hearts pump the hemolymph into interconnected sinuses surrounding the organs, allowing exchange between hemolymph and body cells.

• A cardiac cycle is one complete sequence of pumping, as the heart contracts, and filling, as it relaxes and its chambers fill with blood.– The contraction phase is called systole, and the
relaxation phase is called diastole.

What are two reasons why the pressure decreases?
• Fluids exert a force called hydrostatic pressure against surfaces they contact, and it is that pressure that drives fluids through pipes.– Fluids always flow from areas of high pressure to
areas of lower pressure.– Blood pressure, the hydrostatic force that blood
exerts against vessel walls, is much greater in arteries than in veins and is highest in arteries when the heart contracts during ventricular systole, creating the systolic pressure.
Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• When you take your pulse by placing your fingers on your wrist, you can feel an artery bulge with each heartbeat.– The surge of pressure is partly due to the narrow
openings of arterioles impeding the exit of blood from the arteries, the peripheral resistance.
– Thus, when the heart contracts, blood enters the arteries faster than it can leave, and the vessels stretch from the pressure.
– The elastic walls of the arteries snap back during diastole, but the heart contracts again before enough blood has flowed into the arterioles to completely relieve pressure in the arteries, the diastolic pressure.

• A sphygmomanometer, an inflatable cuff attached to a pressure gauge, measures blood pressure fluctuations in the brachial artery of the arm over the cardiac cycle. – The arterial blood pressure of a healthy human
oscillates between about 120 mm Hg at systole and 70 mm Hg at diastole.

The osmotic pressure due to the proteins in the blood plasma allow for about 85% of the fluids to reenter the capillaries - the remaining 15% that remain in the interstitual fluid returns via the lymph system

• The difference between blood pressure and osmotic pressure– Drives fluids out of capillaries at the arteriole
end and into capillaries at the venule end
At the arterial end of acapillary, blood pressure is
greater than osmotic pressure,and fluid flows out of the
capillary into the interstitial fluid.

• Fluids and some blood proteins that leak from the capillaries into the interstitial fluid are returned to the blood via the lymphatic system.– Fluid enters this system by diffusing into tiny lymph
capillaries intermingled among capillaries of the cardiovascular system.
– Once inside the lymphatic system, the fluid is called lymph, with a composition similar to the interstitial fluid.
– The lymphatic system drains into the circulatory system near the junction of the venae cavae with the right atrium.
8. The lymphatic system returns fluid to the blood and aids in body defense
• Lymph vessels, like veins, have valves that prevent the backflow of fluid toward the capillaries.– Rhythmic contraction of the vessel walls help draw
fluid into lymphatic capillaries.– Also like veins, lymph vessels depend mainly on
the movement of skeletal muscle to squeeze fluid toward the heart.
Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• Along a lymph vessels are organs called lymph nodes.– The lymph nodes filter the lymph and attack
viruses and bacteria.– Inside a lymph node is a honeycomb of
connective tissue with spaces filled with white blood cells specialized for defense.• When the body is fighting an infection, these cells
multiply, and the lymph nodes become swollen.
• In addition to defending against infection and maintaining the volume and protein concentration of the blood, the lymphatic system transports fats from the digestive tract to the circulatory system.

Blood Composition and Function
• Blood consists of several kinds of cells– Suspended in a liquid matrix called plasma
• The cellular elements– Occupy about 45% of the volume of blood
Plasma
• Blood plasma is about 90% water
• Among its many solutes are– Inorganic salts in the form of dissolved ions,
sometimes referred to as electrolytes

LDL may increase plaque deposits - HDL may decrease
• Hypertension (high blood pressure) promotes atherosclerosis and increases the risk of heart disease and stroke.– According to one hypothesis, high blood pressure
causes chronic damage to the endothelium that lines arteries, promoting plaque formation.
– Hypertension is simple to diagnose and can usually be controlled by diet, exercise, medication, or a combination of these.
Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
• To some extent, the tendency to develop hypertension and atherosclerosis is inherited.
• Nongenetic factors include smoking, lack of exercise, a diet rich in animal fat, and abnormally high levels of cholesterol in the blood.
• One measure of an individual’s cardiovascular health or risk of arterial plaques can be gauged by the ratio of low-density lipoproteins (LDLs) to high-density lipoproteins (HDLs) in the blood.
– LDL is associated with depositing of cholesterol in arterial plaques.
– HDL may reduce cholesterol deposition.
Gas exchange is needed for cell respiration
Gas exchange is needed for cell respiration
4 Basic Needs of Gas Exchange
1. A thin, moist respiratory surface of adequate dimension
2. A method of transport of gases to the inner cells
3. A means of protecting the fragile respiratory surface
4. A way to keep the surface moist while limiting water loss

4. A way to keep the surface moist while limiting water loss
• The part of an animal where gases are exchanged with the environment is the respiratory surface.– Movements of CO2 and O2 across the respiratory
surface occurs entirely by diffusion.– The rate of diffusion is proportional to the surface
area across which diffusion occurs, and inversely proportional to the square of the distance through which molecules must move.
– Therefore, respiratory surfaces tend to be thin and have large areas, maximizing the rate of gas exchange.
– In addition, the respiratory surface of terrestrial and aquatic animals are moist to maintain the cell membranes and thus gases must first dissolve in water.

• Gills are outfoldings of the body surface that are suspended in water.– The total surface area of gills is often much greater
than that of the rest of the body.

• The feathery gills projecting from a salmon
– Are an example of a specialized exchange system found in animals
Figure 42.1
Water is moving countercurrent to blood flow
Water is moving countercurrent to blood flow
Blood Flow
• This flow pattern is countercurrent exchange.– As blood moves anteriorly in a gill capillary, it
becomes more and more loaded with oxygen, but it simultaneously encounters water with even higher oxygen concentrations because it is just beginning its passage over the gills.
– All along the gill capillary, there is a diffusion gradient favoring the transfer of oxygen from water to blood.
Copyright © 2002 Pearson Education, Inc., publishing as Benjamin Cummings
Fig. 42.20
• As a respiratory medium, air has many advantages over water.– Air has a much higher concentration of oxygen.– Also, since O2 and CO2 diffuse much faster in air than
in water, respiratory surfaces exposed to air do not have to be ventilated as thoroughly as gills.
– When a terrestrial animal does ventilate, less energy is needed because air is far lighter and much easier to pump than water and much less volume needs to be breathed to obtain an equal amount of O2.
Tracheal systems and lungs are respiratory adaptations of terrestrial animals

Air
• Unlike branching tracheal systems, lungs are restricted to one location.– Because the respiratory surface of the lung is not in
direct contact with all other parts of the body, the circulatory system transports gases between the lungs and the rest of the body.
– Lungs have a dense net of capillaries just under the epithelium that forms the respiratory surface.
– Lungs have evolved in spiders, terrestrial snails, and vertebrates.

• The volume of air an animal inhales and exhales with each breath is called tidal volume.– It averages about 500 mL in resting humans.
• The maximum tidal volume during forced breathing is the vital capacity, which is about 3.4 L and 4.8 L for college-age females and males, respectively.– The lungs hold more air than the vital capacity, but
some air remains in the lungs, the residual volume, because the alveoli do not completely collapse.

• This system completely exchanges the air in the lungs with every breath.– Therefore, the maximum lung oxygen
concentrations are higher in birds than in mammals.– Partly because of this efficiency advantage, birds
perform much better than mammals at high altitude.• For example, while human mountaineers experience
tremendous difficulty obtaining oxygen when climbing the Earth’s highest peaks, several species of birds easily fly over the same mountains during migration.

Low O2 levels trigger sensors in the Carotid arteries and the Aorta to trigger the medulla
• Our breathing control centers are located in two brain regions, the medulla oblongata and the pons.– Aided by the control center in the pons, the
medulla’s center sets basic breathing rhythm, triggering contraction of the diaphragm and rib muscles.
– A negative-feedback mechanism via stretch receptors prevents our lungs from overexpanding by inhibiting the breathing center in the medulla.
• Concept 42.7: Respiratory pigments bind and transport gases
• The metabolic demands of many organisms– Require that the blood transport large quantities
of O2 and CO2
The Role of Partial Pressure Gradients
• Gases diffuse down pressure gradients– In the lungs and other organs
• Diffusion of a gas– Depends on differences in a quantity called
partial pressure
Partial pressure of O2 is 760 mm Hg X 21%= 160
Partial pressure of O2 is 760 mm Hg X 21%= 160
Oxygen Transport
• The respiratory pigment of almost all vertebrates– Is the protein hemoglobin, contained in the
erythrocytes
• Like all respiratory pigments– Hemoglobin must reversibly bind O2, loading
O2 in the lungs and unloading it in other parts of the body

• Loading and unloading of O2
– Depend on cooperation between the subunits of the hemoglobin molecule
• The binding of O2 to one subunit induces the other subunits to bind O2 with more affinity
• Cooperative O2 binding and release
– Is evident in the dissociation curve for hemoglobin
• A drop in pH– Lowers the affinity of hemoglobin for O2

• As with all proteins, hemoglobin’s conformation is sensitive to a variety of factors.
• For example, a drop in pHlowers the affinity of hemo-globin for O2, an effectcalled the Bohr shift.
• Because CO2 reacts with water to form carbonic acid, an active tissue will lower the pH of its surroundingsand induce hemoglobinto release more oxygen.

Bet You Didn't Know They Treat Meat With Carbon Monoxide To Fool You. Hemoglobin has a great affinity to CO – it binds and turns red, giving even old meat the appearance of freshness.
If you breath in CO, hemoglobin will not release it and not be able to transport O2.
• When an air-breathing animal swims underwater, it lacks access to the normal respiratory medium.
– Most humans can only hold their breath for 2 to 3 minutes and swim to depths of 20 m or so. In comparison with diving mammals, humans are poorly adapted to life in the water. In 2002, free-diving champion Mandy-Rae Cruikshank set a women’s world record for static apnea of 6 minutes 13 seconds (the men’s record, set in 2001 by Scott Campbell, is 6 minutes 45 seconds)
– However, a variety of seals, sea turtles, and whales can stay submerged for much longer times and reach much greater depths.
