Animals use O2 and produce CO2
• All animals are aerobicLots of oxygen is required to support active
mobilitySome animals use lots of oxygen to maintain
body temperature• All animals produce CO2 as a byproduct of
aerobic respiration• Gasses must be exchanged
Oxygen must be acquired from the environmentCarbon dioxide must be released to the
environment

Abstract – 6 April 2010BackgroundSeveral unicellular organisms (prokaryotes and protozoa) can live under permanently anoxic conditions. Although a few metazoans can survive temporarily in the absence of oxygen, it is believed that multi-cellular organisms cannot spend their entire life cycle without free oxygen. Deep seas include some of the most extreme ecosystems on Earth, such as the deep hypersaline anoxic basins of the Mediterranean Sea. These are permanently anoxic systems inhabited by a huge and partly unexplored microbial biodiversity.ResultsDuring the last ten years three oceanographic expeditions were conducted to search for the presence of living fauna in the sediments of the deep anoxic hypersaline L'Atalante basin (Mediterranean Sea). We report here that the sediments of the L'Atalante basin are inhabited by three species of the animal phylum Loricifera (Spinoloricus nov. sp., Rugiloricus nov. sp. and Pliciloricus nov. sp.) new to science. Using radioactive tracers, biochemical analyses, quantitative X-ray microanalysis and infrared spectroscopy, scanning and transmission electron microscopy observations on ultra-sections, we provide evidence that these organisms are metabolically active and show specific adaptations to the extreme conditions of the deep basin, such as the lack of mitochondria, and a large number of hydrogenosome-like organelles, associated with endosymbiotic prokaryotes.ConclusionsThis is the first evidence of a metazoan life cycle that is spent entirely in permanently anoxic sediments. Our findings allow us also to conclude that these metazoans live under anoxic conditions through an obligate anaerobic metabolism that is similar to that demonstrated so far only for unicellular eukaryotes. The discovery of these life forms opens new perspectives for the study of metazoan life in habitats lacking molecular oxygen.

Animals use O2 and produce CO2
• Circulation systems move gasses (and other essential resources such as nutrients, hormones, etc) throughout the animal’s body
• Respiratory systems exchange gasses with the environment
![Page 6: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

Circulation systems have evolved over time
• The most primitive animals exchange gasses and circulate resources entirely by diffusionProcess is slow and cannot support 3-D large
bodies• Sponges, jellies and flatworms use diffusion
alone
![Page 7: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Circulation systems have evolved over time
• The most primitive animals exchange gasses and circulate resources entirely by diffusionProcess is slow and cannot support 3-D large
bodiesSurface area / volume ratio becomes too small
• Sponges, jellies and flatworms use diffusion alone
![Page 12: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Diagram of sponge structure
Virtually every cell in a sponge is in direct contact with the water – little circulation is
required
![Page 13: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)

Diagram of jellyfish structure, and photos
• Jellies and flatworms have thin bodies and elaborately branched gastrovascular cavitiesAgain, all cells are very close to the external
environmentThis facilitates diffusionSome contractions help circulate (contractile
fibers in jellies, muscles in flatworms)
![Page 14: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)

Diagram of open circulatory system in a grasshopper
Circulation systems have evolved over time
Metabolic energy is used to pump hemolymph through blood vessels into the body cavity
Hemolymph is returned to vessels via ostia – pores that draw in the fluid as the heart relaxes
• Most invertebrates (esp. insects) have an open circulatory system
![Page 15: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

Diagram of a closed circulatory system, plus a diagram showing an earthworm circulatory system
Circulation systems have evolved over time
Metabolic energy is used to pump blood through blood vessels
Blood is contained within the vessels
Exchange occurs by diffusion in capillary beds
• Closed circulatory systems separate blood from interstitial fluid
![Page 16: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)

Open vs. Closed…both systems are common
Open systems…. • Use less metabolic
energy to run• Use less metabolic
energy to build• Can function as a
hydrostatic skeleton
• Most invertebrates (except earthworms and larger mollusks) have open systems
Closed systems….• Maintain higher
pressure • Are more effective
at transport• Supply more
oxygen to support larger and more active animals
• All vertebrates have closed systems
![Page 17: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)

All vertebrates have a closed circulatory system
• Chambered heart pumps bloodAtria receive bloodVentricles pump blood
• Vessels contain the bloodVeins carry blood to atriaArteries carry blood from ventricles
• Capillary beds facilitate exchangeCapillary beds separate arteries from veinsHighly branched and very tinyInfiltrate all tissues in the body We’ll go over these
step by step

Note that blood vessel names reflect the direction of flow, NOT the amount of
oxygen in the blood
• Arteries carry blood AWAY from the heartArterial blood is always
under pressureIt is NOT always
oxygenated• Veins carry blood TO
the heart
![Page 24: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)

Diagram showing artery, vein and capillary bed
Capillary beds facilitate exchange
• Capillary beds separate arteries from veins• Highly branched and very tiny• Infiltrate all tissues in the body• More later

Diagram showing progression from a 1-chambered heart to a 4-chambered heart. This diagram is used in the next 12 slides.
Evolution of double circulation – not all animals have a 4-chambered heart
![Page 27: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
27
Fishes have a 2-chambered heart
• One atrium, one ventricle• A single pump of the heart
circulates blood through 2 capillary beds in a single circuitBlood pressure drops as blood
enters the capillaries (increase in cross-sectional area of vessels)
Blood flow to systemic capillaries and back to the heart is very slow
Flow is increased by swimming movements
![Page 28: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
28
Two circuits increases the efficiency of gas exchange = double circulation
• One circuit goes to exchange surface• One circuit goes to body systems• Both under high pressure – increases flow rate
![Page 29: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
29
Amphibians have a 3-chambered heart• Two atria, one ventricle• Ventricle pumps to 2 circuits
One circuit goes to lungs and skin to release CO2 and acquire O2
The other circulates through body tissues
• Oxygen rich and oxygen poor blood mix in the ventricleA ridge helps to direct flow
• Second pump increases the speed of O2 delivery to the body
![Page 30: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
30
Most reptiles also have a 3-chambered heart
• A partial septum further separates the blood flow and decreases mixingCrocodilians have a complete
septum• Point of interest: reptiles have
two arteries that lead to the systemic circuitsArterial valves help direct blood
flow away from pulmonary circuit when animal is submerged
![Page 31: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)

Mammals and birds have 4-chambered hearts
• Two atria and two ventricles• Oxygen rich blood is completely
separated from oxygen poor bloodNo mixing much more efficient gas
transportEfficient gas transport is essential
for both movement and support of endothermy
Endotherms use 10-30x more energy to maintain body temperatures

Blood Circulation
• Blood vessels are organsOuter layer is elastic connective tissueMiddle layer is smooth muscle and elastic
fibersInner layer is endothelial tissue
• Arteries have thicker walls• Capillaries have only an endothelium and
basement membrane
![Page 40: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/40.jpg)

Form reflects function…
• Arteries are under more pressure than veins
• Capillaries are the exchange surface

Total cross-sectional area
in capillary beds is much higher than in
arteries or veins; slows
flow

Capillary Exchange
• Gas exchange and other transfers occur in the capillary beds
• Muscle contractions determine which beds are “open”Brain, heart, kidneys and liver are generally
always fully openDigestive system capillaries open after a mealSkeletal muscle capillaries open during
exerciseetc…
![Page 51: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)

Capillary Transport Processes:
• Endocytosis exocytosis across membrane• Diffusion based on electrochemical gradients• Bulk flow between endothelial cells
Water potential gradient forces solution out at arterial end
Reduction in pressure draws most (85%) fluid back in at venous end
Remaining fluid is absorbed into lymph, returned at shoulder ducts
![Page 53: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

54
Bulk Flow in Capillary Beds
• Remember water potential: Ψ = P – s• Remember that in bulk flow P is dominant
No membranePlus, in the capillaries, s is ~stable (blood
proteins too big to pass)• P changes due to the interaction between
arterial pressure and the increase in cross-sectional area
![Page 55: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

Hands On
• Dissect out the circulatory system of your rat
• Start by clearing the tissues around the heart
• Be especially careful at the anterior end of the heart – this is where the major blood vessels emerge
• Trace the aorta, the vena cava, and as many additional vessels as possible – use your manual and lab handout for direction!
![Page 70: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
70
Hands On
• Feel and describe the texture of the atria vs. the ventricles
• Take cross sections of the heart through both the atria and the ventricles
• Examine under the dissecting microscope• Do the same with aorta and vena cava• Try for a thin enough section to look at
under the compound microscope too

Gas Exchange
• Gas Exchange ≠ Respiration ≠ BreathingGas exchange = delivery of O2; removal of
CO2
Respiration = the metabolic process that occurs in mitochondria and produces ATP
Breathing = ventilation to supply the exchange surface with O2 and allow exhalation of CO2
![Page 72: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/72.jpg)

Gas Exchange Occurs at the Respiratory Surface
• Respiratory medium = the source of the O2
Air for terrestrial animals – air is 21% O2 by volume
Water for aquatic animals – dissolved O2 varies base on environmental conditions, especially salinity and temperature; always lower than in air

Gas Exchange Occurs at the Respiratory Surface
• Respiratory surface = the site of gas exchangeGasses move by diffusion across membranesGasses are always dissolved in the interstitial
fluid• Surface area is important!

• Respiratory pigments are proteins that reversibly bind O2 and CO2
• Circulatory systems transport the pigments to sites of gas exchange
• O2 and CO2 molecules bind or are released depending on gradients of partial pressure

Diagram of hemoglobin structure and how it changes with oxygen loading. This diagram is used in the next 3 slides.
Oxygen Transport
• Oxygen is not very soluble in water (blood)• Oxygen transport and delivery are
enhanced by binding of O2 to respiratory pigments

Oxygen Transport• Increase is 2 orders of magnitude!• Almost 50 times more O2 can be carried this
way, as opposed to simply dissolved in the blood

Oxygen Transport
• Most vertebrates and some inverts use hemoglobin for O2 transport
• Iron (in heme group) is the binding element
![Page 116: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/116.jpg)
116
Oxygen Transport
• Four heme groups per hemoglobin, each with one iron atom
• Binding is reversible and cooperative

Critical Thinking
• Binding is reversible and cooperative• What does that mean???

Oxygen Transport
• Reverse occurs during unloading• Release of one O2 induces shape change
that speeds up the release of the next 3

Graph showing how hemoglobin oxygen saturation changes with activity.
Oxygen Transport
• More active metabolism (ie: during muscle use) increases unloading
• Note steepness of curveO2 is unloaded
quickly when metabolic use increases

Graph showing the Bohr Shift
Oxygen Transport – the Bohr Shift
• More active metabolism also increases the release of CO2
Converts to carbonic acid, acidifying blood
pH change stimulates release of additional O2

Figure showing how carbon dioxide is transported from tissues to lungs. This figure is used in the next 3 slides.
Carbon Dioxide Transport
• Red blood cells also assist in CO2 transport7% of CO2 is transported
dissolved in plasma23% is bound to amino groups of
hemoglobin in the RBC’s70% is converted to bicarbonate
ions inside the RBC’s
![Page 123: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/123.jpg)
123
Carbon Dioxide Transport
• CO2 in RBC’s reacts with water to form carbonic acid (H2CO3)
• H2CO3 dissociates to bicarbonate (HCO3
-) and H+
![Page 124: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/124.jpg)
124
Carbon Dioxide Transport
• Most H+ binds to hemoglobinThis limits blood
acidification
• HCO3- diffuses
back into plasma for transport
![Page 125: 1 Lecture #10 – Animal Circulation and Gas Exchange Systems.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062404/551a361955034619378b5acc/html5/thumbnails/125.jpg)
125
Carbon Dioxide Transport
• Reverse occurs when blood reaches the lungsConversion back to
CO2 is driven by diffusion gradients as CO2 moves into the lungs

Hands On
• Dissect out the respiratory system of your rat
• Trace the trachea into the lungs• Examine trachea and lungs under the
dissecting microscope• Try for thin enough sections to also
examine with the compound microscope
