brain & spinal cord only, connected
|
Peripheral Nervous System
|
every other organ, contains Autonomic NS (sympathetic and parasympathetic) and Somatic NS
|
Autonomic
|
(part of peripheral) internal, INVOLUNTARY (breathing, digestion... etc) has parasynthetic and sympathetic
|
Sympathetic
|
EXCITES, prepares body for intense activities- FIGHT OR FLIGHT. (decrease digestion?)
|
Parasympathetic
|
inhibits. relaxes body to conserve energy
|
Somatic NS
|
external world- voluntary!!! you have control.

Ingestion
|
takes food in
|
Digestion
|
breaks food down, small enough to absorb
|
Absorption
|
body absorbs, takes food in (small intestine)

HYDROCHLORIC ACID (give tummy pH of 2, very acidic!) , PEPSINOGEN (in presence of HCL makes pepsin (enzyme) that specifically breaks down protien!! and ADIC CHYME... from stomach to small intestine
|
Pancreas
|
adds sodium bicarbonate (acid neutralizer) so it does not burn whole in small intestine, has Digestive enzymes
|
Liver
|
adds bile, breaks down fats, stored in gall bladder
|
Villus/Villi
|
cross cell membrane into particular villus, more into blood supply so body can process and store things
-microvilli on TOP of villi, help ABSORB nutrients. Remove glucose- convert into glycogen. liver stores this, no organism can absorb everything they eat.
|
Large Intestine aka colon
|
Where un-digested stuff goes... RE-absorbs water (dries out undigested stuff)
|
Animal Gas Exchange: Transport
|
circulatory system where gases diffuse, which is how it's moved
|
Animal Gas Exchange: Servicing Individual Cells
|
exhale, pick up oxygen and get rid of CO2
|
Respiratory Surfaces
|
oxygen going to diffuse cell membrane, CO2 diffuses back out (bring O in, CO2 out). oxygen must 1st dissolve in WATER... respiratory services must be moist1
|
Integumentary Exchange
|
earthworms/flatworms, exchange gas, produce mucus under skin so it stays moist
|
Counter-current flow
|
as water flows from front of gills to back, across gill structures the fish is able to extract that dissolved O2, while the blood goes the other way. (80% of O2 in water fish gain).
|
Tracheal Systems
|
bugs have HARD exoskeleton, surface of insect- trachea (tubes). Spiracles- hole on outside of animal. Trachea- tube under spiracles that leads to tracheoles (branches) that are moist so they can cross cell membrane. Air goes into those and O2 diffuses (can't work in big things b/c not eff…
|
Lungs- terrestrial vertebrates
|
Amphibians have lungs, circulatory system
|
Direction of gases (larger animals)
|
enter body through nostrils-> through mouth cavity -> thorugh bone layers lined w/ cells (heats and filters air) -> back of mouth (pharnyx) -> trachea (tube that w/ cartildge rings that keep open, on top is larnyx w/ vocal cords)-> teachea has 2 branches that lead to lungs, where bronchus…
|
Inhale
|
ib cage and chest cavity moves up, lungs expand up and out, diaphram increases volume of the lung, air pressure of lungs are low to air pressue. Bring in CO2, picking up O2, (picked up by red blood cells)
|
Exhale
|
ribs contract, chest cavity towards backbone, diaphragm goes back up, increase pressure inside lungs, and air comes out
|
Thalamus

when cells are stretched, bent, or pressure applies
|
Chemoreceptors
|
aste buds and smell sensor
|
Electromagnetic Receptors
|
send wave lengths to electromagnetic spectrum

Colored portion
|
Pupil
|
control light going in from pupil to back of retina
|
Retina

Pinna
|
made of cartilage, acts as cone to funnel sound waves
|
Tympanic Membrane
|
eardrum "drum head"
|
Auditory Canal
|
sounds bounces to reach eardrum (vibrates at eardrunm)
|
Eustachian tube
|
connects to back of throat that allows equalization of pressure (airplane) so eardrum doesn’t blow out
|
Cochlea
|
fluid inside move back and forth, hair cells bend the sound, this makes the membrane move, which causes an AP to the brain (cerebrum)
|
Animal Circulation
|
carry various waste products to betaken out, NEED blood
|
Open Circulatory System
|
invertebrates- shrimp, spiders, insects. pumped from REAR to FRONT... their blood sloshes around inside of them, not EFFICIENT.
|
Hemolymph
|
blood in open circulatory, does NOT transport oxygen, doesn't carry gas, no color, does not need RBC
|
Closed Circulatory System
|
Vertebrates INTERNAL structure system, cardiovascular system- network of vessels. Heart--> gas exchange area -->back to heart--> to entire organism--> back to heart
|
Arteries
|
carry blood AWAY from heart, (usually) oxygen rich
|
Veins
|
RETURN blood to the heart (O2 poor)
|
Capillaries
|
RBC can move through single file, come in contact with every cell so it can be serviced
|
Human Heart
|
right below breast- Sac called pericardium- provides protection and lubrication
|
2 Identical Halves in the Heart
|
2 left- ATRIA.
2 right- ventricles
|
Pulmonary Circulation (RLL)
|
blood flow from RIGHT side of the heart -> to LUNG -> to LEFT side o heart
|
Systemic Circulation (LRR)

flow from LEFT side of heart--> REST of organism-> RIGHT side of heart
|
Anterior Vena Cava
|
veins head and shoulders
|
Posterior Vena Cava
|
veins REST of body
|
Atrioventricular Value
|
blood flows in one direction only. Contracts, forces blood in to RIGHT ventricle
|
Semilunar valve
|
one way valve, goes out pulmonary artery
|
Pulmonary veins
|
highly oxygenated RETURN blood from heart -> atrioventricular valve
|
Direction of blood for heart
|
right ventricle to lung- left ventricle pumps to rest of the body.
|
Aorta
|
immediatetly off this are the coronary arteries which supply blood to heart muscle itself
|
Blood
|
45% cellular element of blood, 55% plasma (water, salts, protiens, nutrients, waste products- CO2, cellular communication- hormones
|
RBC
|
Erythrocyte- the most numerous blood cells. Structure- by concave disk, allows more surface area, which allows more oxygen to be carried.
|
Red Bone Marrow
|
make erythrocytes
|
Hemoglobin
|
protien & iron, oxygen temporarily binds with hemoglobin, oxyhemoglobin (bright red), (carbon monoxide mimics oxygen , hemoglobin is fooled by picking up CO and never let go)
|
Heart Attacks
|
when heart muscles dies, coronary arteries get blocked, and the heart will not get blood
|
Blood Clot
|
platelets, parts or RBCs
|
Myocardial Infarction
|
"muscle of the heart" coronary artery becomes clogged with cholesterol. Plaque can be laid down over years and clog it
